Good morning all. Wife and I bought a 9x18 Intex AGP last fall during the "end of season" sale on Amazon, along with a saltwater system, skimmer, solar cover & roller. We live in SE Michigan in a cookie cutter 1950's ranch on a small lot. We previously had a couple raised bed gardens and couple of non-fruiting fruit trees in our backyard. Last fall in preparation for this pool I killed all the grass, cut down the trees and pulled the stumps, tilled the entire yard to 8" deep, used a ditch witch to re-grade our entire yard and create a "flat" 13'x22' area covered in landscape fabric for the pool. I used a plate compactor on the pool 13x22 area but didn't get crazy on the fine tuning of the flat / levelness as I knew that tilling and frost heaving could change over the winter. Now I'm getting the supplies ready to put in a flat and level 2x6"PT edge around the pool base area and plan on filling in with mason sand and pack it down to make the final flat grade. Can't wait for spring!
