Serving Las Colinas, TX
Las Colinas packs thousands of pools into its Irving neighborhoods — from the 1980s estates of Cottonwood Valley and University Hills to the canal-front homes near Mandalay — and many are now more burden than benefit. An aging gunite pool in Las Colinas can mean rising maintenance bills, a resale liability on an upscale lot, or simply wasted space a family would rather use for a lawn, patio, or garden.
Removing one here isn’t a weekend job: these properties often have tight side-yard access between homes, mature landscaping, canals and slopes to protect, and City of Irving permit requirements to satisfy. JCL Landscape Services handles the entire process — permits, safe draining, structural demolition, hauling out the old shell and decking, engineered backfill, compaction, and finish grading — and leaves a clean, level, buildable yard behind.
With more than 5,000 completed DFW projects since 2006 and guaranteed pricing, JCL removes pools across Las Colinas without change-order surprises or a torn-up property.
Why JCL Landscape Services
What sets JCL Landscape Services apart.
- Specialists, Not General Landscapers
JCL does two things — retaining walls and pool removal — and has done them exclusively since 2006. You get nearly two decades of focused expertise, not a sideline service squeezed in between lawn care appointments.
- One Manager, Every Project
General Manager Robert Avalos personally oversees every job from estimate to final walkthrough. There is no hand-off to a foreman you've never met — one person owns the outcome.
- Guaranteed Price, No Change Orders
The price quoted before work begins is the price on the final invoice. JCL never adds charges mid-project — a commitment backed in writing before a single shovel hits the ground.
- All Permits Handled for You
JCL obtains and manages every permit required — for both retaining wall and pool-removal projects — so you never have to navigate municipal requirements on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Las Colinas homeowners.
What does pool removal in Las Colinas involve?
JCL handles the full process for Las Colinas homeowners: permits, safe draining, structural demolition, removal of the shell and decking, engineered and compacted backfill, and finish grading. You’re left with a clean, level, usable yard — not a filled-in hole that settles later.
Do I need a permit to remove a pool in Las Colinas?
Yes — pool demolition typically requires a permit, and how the pool must be drained, broken up, and backfilled is regulated. JCL pulls and manages the required City of Irving permits as part of the job.
Should I do a full or partial pool removal in Las Colinas?
A full removal takes out the entire shell and gives you an unrestricted, buildable yard. A partial removal breaks and buries the shell at lower cost but can limit future building over that spot and must be disclosed at resale. JCL walks Las Colinas owners through the trade-offs and engineers the backfill either way.
How much does pool removal cost in Las Colinas?
It depends on the pool’s size and type, access to the back yard, and full-versus-partial removal. JCL gives Las Colinas homeowners a free on-site estimate with guaranteed pricing — the quoted number is what you pay.
How long does a Las Colinas pool removal take?
Most Las Colinas removals run a few days to about a week, depending on pool size, site access, permitting, and weather. We give you a firm schedule up front and keep the property clean throughout.
Will my Las Colinas yard settle or sink after the pool is removed?
Not when it’s backfilled correctly. Improper backfill is the main cause of later settling, so JCL uses engineered fill placed and compacted in lifts, then finish-grades the surface so the ground stays stable over Dallas County’s clay soil.
Can you access a pool in a tight Las Colinas back yard?
Usually yes — tight side-yard access is common on Las Colinas lots, and JCL selects equipment and a demolition approach that fit the access while protecting landscaping, canals, slopes, and neighboring property.
Why remove an old pool in Las Colinas instead of keeping it?
For many Las Colinas owners an aging pool means rising maintenance costs, safety and insurance concerns, and a resale liability — while removal reclaims the space for lawn, garden, or an addition and can make the property easier to sell.
