Perth Limestone Excavation and Pool Installation Costs

Perth's limestone bedrock in northern suburbs (Joondalup, Wanneroo, Hillarys, Clarkson) can add $2,000-$12,000+ to pool excavation costs depending on depth and hardness of limestone encountered. Hydraulic rock-breakers are commonly required for Perth pool excavations. Sandy soils in southern Perth are easier to excavate.
