Havertown is one of Delaware County’s most established and sought-after communities — a charming Main Line-adjacent suburb in Haverford Township with over 38,000 residents, a rich Irish heritage, 30+ parks, and strong schools through the Haverford Township School District. With a median household income of $120,233, an average annual household income of $152,799, and a housing stock where the median construction year is 1950, Havertown is a community of long-established homeowners who invest in their properties.
Many of those 1940s and 1950s-era homes came with or later received inground swimming pools. Those pools are now aging — concrete shells showing their years, liners approaching or past their replacement cycle, equipment dated and increasingly expensive to maintain. The annual cost of Havertown pool ownership runs $2,000–$5,000 or more. Pennsylvania’s climate delivers roughly 10–12 weeks of comfortable pool weather. For many Havertown homeowners — particularly those whose children have grown and moved on — the financial and practical case for removal is clear.

We submit construction permits through Haverford Township’s Building & Codes Department — which accepts applications online through its Online Permit Center — manage every required inspection, and restore your yard to a finished, level lawn.

With 88.5% owner-occupied housing and homes averaging 72% detached single-family units, Havertown is a homeowner’s community where property condition matters.

Posted on Justin SweeneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was all that we wanted and more. Robinson Landscape’s team does top tier quality work. They completely took care of our 1960’s concrete pool demolition and backyard refresh. The whole project was well explained and fairly priced from the beginning, the communication during the project was outstanding, and the end result came out beyond our expectations. We highly recommend them and would definitely hire them again. Huge thank you to Tim and his team.Posted on Stephanie AlderferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tim and his crew made this process as easy and seamless as it could have been. They are true experts and respectful of their customers and their property. Simply the best!Posted on Jim SimpsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had Robinson demolish a old in-ground pool - and in less than 2 days, we have a new backyard! Tim's crew was efficient and respectful of our property, and incredibly proficient: they reduced the entire concrete shell into pieces smaller than a football, properly disposed of the fiberglass shell, recycled every piece of rebar, disconnected all the electrical and plumbing connections properly - as professional an outfit as I've ever hired (in forty years!). The entire area disturbed by the pool removal was covered with topsoil, compacted, graded, seeded, and protected with straw before they left. Best contractor I've ever hired by a long shot, and I recommend them unreservedly!Posted on Hans WittTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great experience we had with Tim, Danielle, Delfino, and team at Robinson Landscape! They did a fantastic job removing our 33k gallon in-ground concrete pool in just 2 days. The removal process was clearly explained and executed in a professional, on-time, and friendly manner. They went above and beyond expectations by being extremely careful bringing equipment in and out of the pool area, they helped us relocate many large boulders, the property grading was top-notch, and they did a really nice job cleaning up too. We are super happy with the results and would highly recommend Robinson Landscape!Posted on PDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not be happier with Tim Robinson and his team. We decided to fill in a massive, nasty, old vinyl pool that hadn’t been opened in years by the time we bought our house. From beginning to end, Tim was communicative and accommodating and his price was more than fair. He was extremely thorough, came out to our house multiple times, and made the entire process so easy. The crew was on time and our pool and concrete were gone without a trace by the end of day two! His team left our yard in excellent shape, cleaning up areas they hadn’t even disturbed! Aside from the lack of grass you never would have known they were here. Highly recommend Tim and his crew if you’re looking to get your pool removed!Posted on Tom GeserickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my in ground pool removed and filled in Tim’s crew was quick and mindful of of the property. The finished project looked great, you would never guess that there was ever anything in the area. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you TimPosted on JohnnyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Could not be happier with the service from Tim, Danielle and the Robinson Landscape team. They removed a 60 year old pool over the last 2 days from our property at a great price. They are very professional, skilled and seamlessly saved the adjacent patio in the process. The grading for our new lawn is excellent. I highly recommend Robinson Landscape to get rid of that old pool on your property!Posted on William FloydTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thrilled with the work that Robinson Landscape did removing my pool and regrading the area back to its natural slope. Got in touch with them after seeing the great reviews here and I’m happy to now add another one. Their work was incredibly efficient and coordinated at every stage, saving us days of noise and disruption. Each member of the team was a pleasure to work with and clearly took pride in their work. I opted for sod rather than the standard seeding and the team did an excellent job installing it. By the end of the week, any trace of the pool was gone and the yard in its place is now a highlight of the property. I had high hopes for the project and they were exceeded.Posted on Monica McKelvinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have the highest praise for Tim and his team at Robinson landscaping. Due to the loss of my father, I was in the middle of the sale of his home. An emotional and stressful time for sure. 4 days before closing, I was notified that the pool installed on the property was not properly permitted and would need to be removed.... 4 days to remove a pool seemed impossible......Add to this the fact that I live in a different state, and it seemed the sale would fall through. After multiple calls to several companies (who told me pool removal in 4 days would be impossible) I finally reached Tim at Robinson landscaping. I explained the situation and although hesitant to make any promises he agreed to go look at the property that night. Fully expecting to hear he could not do the work, instead Tim had a crew on site the next day to remove the pool. Grateful is an understatement!!! Not only did Tim's team remove the pool, they completed the landscaping a few days later and the work was as promised. 4 days later the home sale went through! The level of compassion and professionalism exibited by Tim and his team was amazing to experience. He charged a fair price for the work, and did not try to unfairly profit during a very stressful time. I can't recommend Tim and his team enough!Posted on John AnthonyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tim and his team were professional and very courteous from Day 1 walk thru, explanation of job and scheduling. They came and completed in-ground pool removal in 2 days. The price was very client-friendly and the service was excellent. A neighbor (with a pool) stopped by and they hired him too. Thank you for this service - very happy to write this review. PS my limited experience, pool contractors offered same job at much higher cost so we saved using this vendor!
