Companies Worked With:
When a Hamilton homeowner reached out to us looking to reclaim their backyard before winter, they had one clear request: “I just want this old pool gone — fast.” What started as a simple pool removal quickly became a complete backyard refresh, finished in only 2.5 business days and completed with a seamless, lush new lawn installed by our trusted partner, The Sodfather.
This project showcases what efficient coordination, clear communication, and experienced crews can deliver — a clean, safe, and instantly usable backyard.
The client was tired of maintaining an above-ground pool that was no longer being used. With winter approaching and closing costs around the corner, they wanted a fast, reliable team that could demolish the pool, level the ground, and restore the backyard with fresh sod — all without long delays or complicated scheduling.
Within 48 hours, Oakly Landscaping completed a site visit, confirmed the scope, and presented a competitive estimate. The quote was approved the same day, and work began immediately.
Scope of Work — Completed in Just 2.5 Days
We started by safely dismantling the entire above-ground pool structure. Our crew removed all metal framing, liner materials, and structural supports while ensuring that no debris or sharp objects were left behind. Every step was performed with safety and efficiency in mind.
The wooden deck surrounding the pool was carefully disassembled and hauled away. Removing the deck allowed us to reshape the backyard and prepare it for clean grading and new sod installation.
Once the pool and deck were removed, our team focused on restoring the yard’s proper elevation. We filled the excavated area, compacted the soil in layers, and regraded the yard to ensure full-drainage functionality and long-term lawn health.
This step is crucial — a poorly regraded yard will settle unevenly and create future drainage problems.
For the final stage of the project, Oakly brought in our dedicated sod subcontractor: The Sodfather, specialists known for fast mobilization and flawless lawn installations.
Their team handled:
- Final grading checks
- Soil preparation
- Rolling the base
- Installing premium sod in a proper staggered pattern
- Compacting and watering the new lawn for perfect rooting
The collaboration was seamless.
In just half a day, The Sodfather transformed the regraded soil into a lush, seamless lawn that looked like it had always been there. This partnership allows us to deliver high-quality lawn restoration at record speed — no delays, no patches, no shortcuts.
