Pool Excavation

Digging custom swimming pools in tight residential spaces.

About This Service

Digging a pool requires a careful touch, especially when working between existing structures in a backyard. We use appropriately sized equipment to access tight residential spaces and excavate pool shells to exact specifications. We handle the over-break mitigation when hitting solid rock ledges, ensuring the final shape matches the pool builder's plan.

At Roxor South, we don't cut corners on the dirt work. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. We bring the heavy iron needed to tackle Southern Utah's demanding conditions, and the operator experience to leave the site exactly how the next contractor needs it.

  • Precise layout following builder plans
  • Tight-access residential excavation
  • Hard rock breaking and removal
