An inground pool adds value to your home in addition to providing a year-round source of fun. If you’re set to schedule excavation services for installation soon, you’ll need to prepare for the extensive process. Use this quick guide to ensure the excavation goes smoothly.

How to Get Your Property Ready for Pool Excavation

1. Review the Layout

Go over your projected pool layout with your excavating contractors to make sure it doesn’t infringe on property lines. You’ll also determine if you like the current layout, including the surrounding deck, and whether the location works in light of proximity to your back door, patio area, and other yard features, such as a shed or swing set.

2. Clear Your Yard

Temporarily relocate everything from your backyard that can get in the way of excavation services, including lawn ornaments, children’s toys, grills, outdoor furniture, gardening tools, potted plants, trampoline, and excessive debris, such as twigs and leaves. If some structures and features cannot be moved, such as a fountain or outdoor kitchen area, protect them with drop cloths, tarps, or similar materials.

3. Inform Your Neighbors

Let your neighbors know when excavation services will happen since digging out a pool involves noisy machinery. Tell them how long the process is expected to take. Also, reassure them that the digging will not occur in the early morning or evening hours; it will take place when the majority of the neighborhood is at work.

4. Decide What to Do With the Dirt

Ask if the excavating contractors will remove the excess dirt in a dump truck and take it to a different location for reuse. Some of the dirt will be used for backfilling, but most of it gets taken away. If you would like to keep some of the soil for gardening projects, let the contractors know, so they can set a portion aside.
