So I bought a home that came with a new above ground in the garage with the sale. The back yard has already began to be prepped but some of what I read leads me to believe there is an issue with it. I'll explain......
The ground was excavated about 3-10 inches deep to get it somewhat level. After that there is about a 1-2 inch base of crushed limestone. (This is what I am unsure of) Most of what I'm reading recommends putting the pool directly on the ground with paver blocks under the posts. So I'm not sure why the crushed limestone was added. It's more like pea sized stone not crushed flakes. I'm thinking this needs a 2 inch layer of topsoil hammered in with a jumping jack in the spring and laser leveled then the pool installed. I'm in Northeast Pennsylvania and won't be able to do much for atleast a month but want to insure this is done correctly.
Thank you to anyone ahead of time that replies. I will be paying an installer to put the pool up and am looking for one in the Pocono area too should anyone have any recommendations.
