How to Fill in a Yard After Removing an Aboveground Pool

- Remove the above ground pool.

- Remove any remaining pool equipment, such as the pump, filter, and ladder.

- Dig out the pool liner and any underlying sand or gravel.

- Level the pool site.

Step 2: Add Fill Dirt

- Order fill dirt from a local landscaping company or home improvement store.

- Spread the fill dirt evenly over the pool site.

- Compact the fill dirt by tamping it down with a tamper or by driving over it with a heavy vehicle.

Step 3: Grade the Yard

- Use a rake or a grader to smooth out the fill dirt and grade the yard so that it slopes away from the house.

- This will help to prevent water from pooling in the yard.

Step 4: Plant Grass or Sod

- Apply a layer of topsoil over the fill dirt.

- Plant grass seed or lay sod over the topsoil.

- Water the grass seed or sod regularly to help it establish itself.

Step 5: Maintain the Yard

- Water the grass as needed to keep it from drying out.

- Fertilize the grass according to the package directions.

- Control weeds and pests as needed.

By following these steps, you can easily fill in a yard after removing an above ground pool.
