Pool removal in Maryland

Fill-in or full removal?
That choice only exists for concrete or gunite. Filling in means breaking part of the shell and filling the hole; full removal means every piece of the pool is hauled away before the hole gets filled.
Maryland prices for fiberglass and vinyl liner pools cover removal, and above ground prices cover takedown and hauling.

Why does Maryland cost a bit less?
The biggest single expense in a straightforward pool removal is labor. In May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics figures, Maryland construction laborers averaged $23.24 an hour, next to $25.02 nationwide.
Maryland pay comes in slightly under the U.S. number, so Maryland ranges land just below national ones. Across the country, Angi gives $3,000 to $10,000 for vinyl removal, $5,000 to $15,000 for fiberglass, and $2,500 to $10,000 to fill in a concrete or gunite pool or $4,000 to $16,000 to take it all out.
