Posted by [Ryan Crownholm](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/author/ryan-crownholm) on Mon, Apr 05, 2010 @ 12:08 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) The Argument of Remodel or [Removal](https://www.diganddemo.com/swimming-pool-removal/)... This is the starting point for most of my customers. The pool is 30 years old and something must be done. But what? Can you justify the cost of remodel with the frequency in which you use your pool? Is keeping the pool going to help the value of your home? Perhaps you have always dreamed about having a backyard garden full of tomatoes and squash and the only space is right over the old swimming pool. Over the years, I have seen hundreds of homeowners in this dilemma and have seen them go both ways including one incident when a client went with a remodel and then called me back three years later to remove the remodeled swimming pool! If you are in this situation and need some advice please give me a call. I can come by and give you a no cost estimate as well as refer you to a remodeling contractor. Below is a list of what some of my clients have done over their old swimming pool: 1. Vegetable Garden 2. Koi pond 3. Basketball Court 4. Worm Farm 5. Landscape 6. Artificial Grass 7.
