Drainage around pool

[Fun4Life67]

The graders were here yesterday and did the grading. I have a sloped back yard. On one side of the pool the yard will be about 2 feet high maybe a couple inches more. They will be here on monday to install the pool. If they install the pool real close to that high side i think water will go down in there and wash sand away. And how will i back fill if its so close to that high side? When i backfill do i just put the dirt around the bottom of the pool about 6 inches high? Im in NC the dirt is pretty much clay.

Looks like you need a retaining wall. If you search the forum for examples, you’ll see what i mean. How much space did you plan for, between the pool and the wall?

Doesn't look extreme enough to me, from the pics, to install a retaining wall. If I were going to back fill, I'd do it with stones to aid in draining.

I didnt make any plans. The company is coming out and doing it all. They will be installing the pool on monday. They said it is up tp me to back fill it. They are going to set up the pool.
