Hi,
It’s quite natural for many homeowners with older pools, facing dangerous situations of pools which was once a source of recreational areas. Repairs are costly, and so, to make the most of it, it is possible to convert the pool into a pleasant garden. You can design your garden to be either level with the yard or a sunken garden with the top of the pool walls serving as handy built-in seating or shelf space for potted plants.
Requirements:
Building or demolition permits
Fill dirt
Gravel
Mechanical tamper
Soil
Topsoil
Rake
Garden plan
Plants
Ensure that your project is legally permissible through your local planning reviews and zoning department ordinances and gets any necessary building or demolition permits before beginning work.
Hire an engineer or qualified inspector to check your pool for soundness and follow the recommendations regarding the pool.
Hire a demolition contractor to remove the pool if that is the recommended option. Obtain coarse fill dirt, which may contain chunks of masonry construction debris or large stones, and spread a layer up to three-fourths the total depth of the pool over its bottom. Adjust the depth of this coarse fill as needed for your planting goals.
Use gravel to fill in any irregularities or holes throughout the fill dirt, including covering large rocks and other debris to create a smooth, level surface on that layer.Tamp down the gravel and fill dirt with a mechanical tamper to make sure that it is well-compacted and firm. It should not shift or depress when walked on.
Add 2 or 3 feet of good soil over the layer of fill and gravel and firm it as before, then follow with rich topsoil to the required finish level, raking it smooth.
Hire a professional swimming pool installation company and water the surface of the soil until puddles form, and then let it stand for a few days to drain and settle before planting your garden according to whatever design you prefer. These companies can even renovate your outdoor in any design you want.
