Why Velasco

A family name on every job.

We’re not a franchise or a call center. When you hire Velasco, you get the family whose name is on the truck, on site, and standing behind the work long after the dirt settles.

30+Years combined

Pool excavation and site preparation experience. This isn’t theory, it’s thousands of yards reclaimed, done right. When you hire Velasco, you’re hiring people who’ve been doing this work since before many pools were even built.

Family-owned & operated. You talk to the owner or crew lead, not a dispatcher.
Licensed, bonded & insured in California, with permits handled for you
We do the unseen work right, compacted backfill, not a rushed fill-and-go
Honest, itemized quotes, no surprise charges once we break ground

Good to know

What homeowners ask us.

Most residential removals fall in a wide range depending on access, pool size, and removal method. We give you a firm, itemized quote after a free on-site visit, never a guess over the phone.

A typical residential pool removal runs 2-5 working days on site once permits are in hand. New-pool excavation depends on the design and access.

Yes. We pull the demolition or grading permit and coordinate utility locates as part of the job, so it’s done correctly and on record.

Not when it’s backfilled right. We fill in compacted lifts and document it, the single biggest reason to hire a crew who does this properly.
