In-ground swimming pool excavation for residential and commercial properties. Precise depth, clean walls, full spoil removal, and site preparation for the pool crew.
Backwell excavates in-ground swimming pools for residential and commercial properties throughout Pulaski, Oswego County, and the surrounding area. Pool excavation requires precision — the hole needs to be the right depth and dimensions, walls need to be clean and stable, and all spoil needs to be removed from the site before the pool contractor arrives. We work directly with pool companies and homeowners to ensure the dig is done right the first time.
We handle pools of all shapes and sizes including vinyl liner, fiberglass, and gunite pools. Our operators are experienced with the precision required for pool work — setting grades, maintaining clean walls, avoiding damage to access routes, and removing spoil efficiently. We also handle all associated site preparation including access clearing, spoil hauling, and rough grading after installation.

Pulaski sits on the Salmon River in northern Oswego County, where the river cuts through the lake-plain landscape on its way to Lake Ontario. Soils across the village and the Route 11 / I-81 commercial corridor are dominated by Arkport fine sandy loam and Colonie loamy sand on the uplands, with Palmyra gravelly loam on the river terraces and Canandaigua silty clay loam in the lower flats.
The Salmon River's watershed is one of the most active sportfishing corridors in the Northeast, and any earthwork that affects the river or its tributaries falls under NYSDEC stream-protection review in addition to standard municipal permitting. Commercial site work in Pulaski regularly involves shallow water tables on the lower parcels, non-cohesive sandy cuts that require shoring, and stormwater design that accounts for extraordinarily heavy lake-effect snow loads and spring snowmelt volumes. Bedrock is deep. Frost depth pushes utility burial and foundation details well beyond lowland Onondaga norms. Projects within the Salmon River riparian corridor require coordination with NYSDEC fisheries staff on in-stream timing windows.
