Thum Co. Contractors completed a full pool demolition in the Abacoa neighborhood of Jupiter, Florida — near Admirals Cove. We pulled the permit, removed the screen enclosure, demolished the pool, backfilled and compacted the site, and finished it with beautiful travertine pavers in place of the old pool.

The homeowner wanted the pool gone and the backyard back. We handled the entire transformation — from the permit application to the final paver — so they didn’t have to coordinate multiple contractors.

Pool Demolition in Abacoa, Jupiter

Abacoa homes were built with the pool as the centerpiece of the backyard — but after 20-plus years, plenty of Jupiter homeowners are choosing to reclaim that space. We know these neighborhoods: the HOA requirements, the Town of Jupiter permit process, the high water table you have to manage when you open up a pool shell, and the tight access of established communities.

On this project we pulled the demolition permit, worked within the community’s guidelines, and kept the site clean and contained from day one. And when the pool was gone, we didn’t just fill the hole — we installed and compacted base rock in lifts so the new travertine pavers sit on a foundation that won’t settle.

Pool Demolition FAQs — Jupiter, FL

Do I need a permit to demolish a pool in Jupiter, FL?

Yes — the Town of Jupiter requires a permit for pool demolition. We pulled the permit on this Abacoa project and handle the application and inspections as part of the job, so you don’t have to navigate the process yourself.

What happens to the pool — do you just fill it in?

No. We demolish the pool shell, haul off the debris, backfill with clean fill, and compact in lifts. On this project we went further: installed and compacted base rock, then laid travertine pavers for a finished backyard — not just a filled hole.

Can you remove the screen enclosure too?

Yes. We removed the full screen enclosure on this project before demolishing the pool. One contractor handles the whole job, from enclosure removal through the final pavers.

How long does a pool demolition take in Jupiter?

Most residential pool demolitions take about a week from mobilization to final grade, depending on access, pool size, and what goes in its place. Call (561) 366-2050 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your property.
