Question 3

Do you coordinate with pool installers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we work closely with pool installers throughout the excavation process. We coordinate schedules, ensure excavation dimensions match pool specifications exactly, and prepare the site for pool installation. Good communication between excavator and installer is essential for a successful pool project, and we maintain excellent relationships with local pool companies.

Question 4

What happens if you hit rock during pool excavation?

Accepted Answer

If we encounter rock during pool excavation in Sterling CT, we have equipment capable of breaking and removing rock. Rock removal adds to the project cost and timeline, but we'll discuss this with you immediately if encountered. We can typically handle most rock conditions, though extensive bedrock may require specialized equipment or alternative pool placement.

Question 5

How precise does pool excavation need to be?

Accepted Answer

Pool excavation must be very precise, typically within 2-3 inches of specified dimensions. We use laser levels and careful measurements to ensure exact depth and dimensions. Proper slope for pool walls, accurate depth throughout, and correct overall dimensions are critical for successful pool installation. Our experienced operators ensure precision throughout the excavation.

Question 6

Can you excavate a pool in a tight backyard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can excavate pools in tight backyards in Sterling CT. We use smaller equipment when needed and carefully plan access routes. We'll evaluate your property during the estimate to determine the best approach and equipment size. In very tight spaces, we may use mini excavators or hand excavation for certain areas.

Question 7

What happens to the excavated soil from pool excavation?

Accepted Answer

We handle all excavated soil from pool excavation. Options include on-site reuse for landscaping and grading around the pool area, off-site disposal, or selling clean fill. We'll discuss disposal options during your estimate. Often, some soil can be reused on your property for landscaping, reducing disposal costs.

Question 8

Do you need permits for pool excavation in Sterling CT?

Accepted Answer

Pool excavation itself typically doesn't require separate permits, but pool installation requires building permits. We coordinate with pool installers who handle permits. However, we ensure our excavation work meets all requirements for the pool installation permit. We're familiar with local regulations and setback requirements.

Question 9

Can pool excavation be done in the winter?

Accepted Answer

Pool excavation can be done year-round in Sterling CT, though winter conditions can be challenging. Frozen ground requires additional equipment and time. Spring through fall are typically ideal seasons, but we can work in winter if needed. We'll discuss weather considerations during your estimate.

Question 10

What types of pools can you excavate for?

Accepted Answer

We excavate for all types of inground pools including concrete/gunite pools, fiberglass pools, and vinyl liner pools. Each pool type has specific excavation requirements, and we're experienced with all types. We work with your pool installer to ensure excavation meets their exact specifications for the pool type you've chosen.
