Swimming Pool Site Preparation
We've purchased a new above-ground pool (16') and after spending the weekend trying to get the site level, it's time to bring in a professional. If anyone know of some one who does site prep for above ground swimming pools, please reply.

Any landscaping company can do it.
When I was doing mine, buddy told me to get a piece of 10' horizontal pole used for chain link fencing. Secured it in the middle and went around the area like a clock arm filling in the low spots until all was reasonbly level.
Is this an Invex pool or is it a more durable fiberglass one ?
Mine is an Invex that I take down in the fall and if it's a more permenant one, better bring in the pros.

JUst get the grade within 3" or so, they should do the rest. I had a 13" grade, paid someone 300$ to dig out hole and "level" it off to where itwas reasonably close.
I have an above ground too, worked fine.Lots of yoga pants these days, not enough Yoga!

Preferable never to fill-in but to dig down to the lowest level. Rent a transit and make sure each area where the posts will be are within the 1/4" tolerance.
