    AG Pool Leveling Question - Pre Install work

    Hi. (I think I got the right forum on this) I hired out the local landscape company to level a 30 circular spot for an AG pool (pool is 24, but I wanted some extra spacE). Using a laser level/transit I checked and I would estimate the whole thing is about 3-4 inches off from the high to low...
