Hello,
I hired one of my cities most known lawn and landscaping companies to level my pool. The pool is an Intex 23’x12’x52” (not the one I ordered, but the one that showed up). My back yard is at a little bit of a slope and so they had to add dirt to get the one side up around 3-5 inches. Initially they just threw dirt down and called it a day, saying it would be fine. Me, an inexperienced pool owner, started filling it after they said everything would be fine. After half full I noticed the feet digging into the ground and was concerned. But they said it was normal and I continued. Stupid me. My pool almost collapsed on the down slopped side. Luckily I was outside setting up the filter and caught it just in time before it fully collapsed. I drained the pool called them back and they used pavers, that I purchased for a different project without asking me, but they only used them on the one side. The pool was very uneven. I called them back again and they dug out some of the dirt that originally put down and on the down slopes side out cinder blocks. My question: Are these cinder blocks going to hold up my pool? I’m a little concerned that they are going to crack and crumble underneath the weight of the pool.
