So I have ordered a 32x16x52 intex pool and now I need to get the ground ready for it. I did the groundwork for my 15’ round intex pool a year and a half ago and I remember it taking two or three days and a lot of effort. And even despite my best effort the ground was still not perfectly flat.
The sandy soil here in florida is pretty easy to dig in and the area is pretty flat as it is - probably no more than 4-5 inches between the low spots and the high spots. But removing the sod was what took a lot of effort last time and I’m kind of dreading doing the same for not only the larger pool, but also a patio that I will be installing.
I’ve gotten a couple of quotes for someone to come in with a skid steer and do the work for about $400-$500. Those numbers are definitely on the high side of what I might be willing to pay, but I could probably still swing it.
Does that seem like a reasonable amount to remove the sod and level two areas? The pool area will be about 18x34 and the patio area will be about 24x14.
