Do you have to remove concrete from inground pool to fill in?

Yes, you typically need to remove the concrete from an inground pool to fill it in properly. This ensures that the area can be filled with appropriate materials that will compact well and prevent future settling or sinking. Additionally, removing the concrete helps avoid potential drainage issues and allows for better soil management. However, in some cases, it might be possible to leave the concrete in place, depending on local regulations and the specific fill method used.
