Site Prep & Dig-Out

Pool Excavation in Conroe & Magnolia, TX

Every great pool starts with a clean, accurate dig. McNeill Services handles pool excavation across the Houston-north metro — precise layout, proper depth, and a site left ready for steel and gunite.

Why McNeill

Excavation Done Right From the Start

  • Owner on site for the dig — Josh McNeill lays out and oversees every excavation personally, so the hole matches the plan.
  • Right equipment for tight Texas lots — we work around fences, utilities, and limited access without tearing up your yard.
  • Accurate grading & depth — proper over-dig, benches, and steps so the shell, plumbing, and decking all fit.
  • Utility-safe digging — locates called and lines protected before the first scoop.
How It Works

Our Excavation Process

  1. Layout & marking

    We stake the pool footprint to your approved design and confirm setbacks.

  2. Utility locate

    All underground lines are located and flagged before we dig.

  3. Excavation & shaping

    We dig to depth, cut benches and steps, and rough-shape the shell.

  4. Spoil haul-off & prep

    Excess dirt is removed or graded and the site is squared away for steel.

Most residential digs are completed in one to two days, weather and soil permitting.
What do you do with the dirt?
We haul off excess spoil or grade it on site, depending on your yard and your preference.
