ParticipantIve seen removals done. They take off the top foot or two and break out big hole in the bottom for drainage. They can throw all the waste into the pool as long as they bring in good fill and compact it all. Seems like a no brainer for your situation. Been a while but cost was below 10K

ParticipantThanks sdrealtor. It seems like even though we don’t want to build on the site, we may not be able to plant the way I thought we could, either — I was definitely hoping to add a tree or two back there. So many before-and-after shots show a pool and then some hardscape or fake turf in the shape of a pool. Not the look we’re going for… Ugh.
Starting to talk to some landscape designers and demo people. Hopefully we can make something less spartan than what I’ve seen online.

ParticipantUpdating in case anyone else ends up searching for pricing info.
We got 2 quotes in the 22-25k range. The caveat is the quotes include breaking up and removing all the hardscape, not just the pool work. I’d estimate 19-22k if we were just doing the pool, since the quote from 4 years ago was about 17k.
This includes demo, capping off utilities, filling and compacting, and grading done by licensed contractors with permits. The project would last around 2 weeks, weather permitting.
The pool is close enough to the house that it casts amazing patterns on the ceilings on that side of the house, which I’m going to miss.
