Expert Pool Removal in Mokena, IL

Pool removal in Mokena means more than hauling away concrete and steel. It means solving a real problem for homeowners who no longer want the upkeep, liability, or lost yard space that comes with an unused pool. At Hooks Landscaping, we handle the full scope: draining the pool, breaking down the shell, removing all debris, and grading the site so your yard is level and usable again. Mokena sits on somewhat poorly drained, fine-loamy soils that hold water and shift with Illinois freeze-thaw cycles. That makes proper backfill compaction and drainage grading after pool removal especially important here. We account for those soil conditions on every job. Whether you have an aging inground concrete pool or a deteriorating fiberglass shell, our team clears the site cleanly and leaves you with a stable, ready-to-landscape yard. If you're ready to stop maintaining a pool you don't use, contact Hooks Landscaping for a site assessment.

After going through a couple of different quotes, choosing Chris and his crew at Hooks Landscaping was easily the best decision we made. From the very beginning, Chris stood out—he was not only professional, but truly over the top when it came to creativity and attention to detail. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and came up with ideas we never would have considered on our own. His vision really brought the whole project to life. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire process. Chris kept us informed every step of the way, was always quick to respond to questions, and made sure we felt confident and comfortable with every decision. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. His crew was just as impressive. A special shoutout to Chelo, who went above and beyond with his work ethic. The entire team was incredibly hardworking, respectful, and detail-oriented. They showed up on time, stayed focused, and treated our property with care. At the end of each day, they made sure everything was clean and organized, which we really appreciated. The final result completely exceeded our expectations. The finished design looks absolutely stunning—truly magazine-worthy. You can tell they take pride in their work, and it shows in every detail. If you’re considering landscaping work, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere—you won’t find better. Call Chris and his crew at Hooks Landscaping. They are simply amazing! Thanks, Guys!

Used Hooks for a project including grading, drainage and paver installation. Work was done very professionally on schedule and exactly as agreed upon. Their design and execution turned out beautifully and will definitely be using them in the future. Another point that must be called out is the communication, was kept informed of the timeline throughout, and they always responded to questions very quickly - highly recommended!

We had a great experience with Hook’s Landscaping from start to finish. I specifically wanted help with designing a privacy solution along our fence line, but I didn’t want the typical row of arborvitae that everyone seems to use. Chris really listened to what I was looking for and helped create a more thoughtful, customized design that fit our space and style. He also offered help with our front landscaping, which gives our house much better curb appeal. The pricing was very reasonable, especially for the quality of work provided. The crew was professional, respectful, and worked efficiently. They completed the entire job in just two days, which was impressive given the scope of the project. They also left everything clean and tidy when they were finished. One thing I really appreciated was that Chris made an effort to repurpose as much of my existing landscaping as possible, which helped save on costs without sacrificing the final result. The new design makes my yard look so much bigger and more polished. Even after the project was completed, he has remained very communicative, offering guidance on watering and plant care to make sure everything continues to look its best. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Hook’s Landscaping for anyone looking for quality work, creative design help, and a team that truly cares about the finished product.
