Level ground for a swimming pool?

you don’t need a contractor, you can level the ground yourself, but it involves a lot of work. We are doing it ourselves today, after first filling our 13 X 10 inflatable pool and seeing just how “unlevel” our site is. I did an internet search on “How to level a ground for a swimming pool”, you will need a measuring tape, stakes/poles, string, a shovel, and lots of sand. (We bought about 20 bags of playsand, and are going back for more). Plan on spending one day just to do the leveling, before putting your pool up. The hard work will make your pool that much more pleasurable, and you can’t use your pool without having a level ground. Good luck!

You need a wheelbarrow, a few two by fours, and some sand. And it might be a lot more sand than you think! I used a sand calculator and cool method for leveling that I found at a site called levelgroundpool.com

Make sure to compact the sand good like shown on the site.

Hire a caterpillar (the construction kind) or similar to level the grade in the yard before installing an above ground pool.
