When selling or preparing a customer to buy one of the above ground pools, do not tell them how easy it will be to just ""get 10 of your friends and kick the dirt back against the pool for back-fill"". It is not so easy when your backfill dirt is full of and mixed with sod all the way through. Its very misleading and will cost the customer at least 200.00 or more to get the mess cleaned up. I'm not complaining because I had to do it, I'm complaining because Family Leisure did not honestly prepare me for the extra time, work and expense I was in for.\r
Here's another thought for the contractor you hire to dig out the pool area, pay him a little more money to actually separate the dirt from the sod so when you say kick the dirt back against the pool, then it would be a realistic expectation.
