Levelling the area where the patio used to be		This photo shows the opposite corner of our yard which is down a steep grade. We buried the patio concrete here.

Photos above show the outline of the template to show where to dig for the pool.




Dirt is being moved from pool hole (on left above) to the lower portion of yard at opposite corner to bury the cement patio pieces. This was difficult to do as there was only about 5 feet of space between our deck and the hillside that connected the two areas of the yard together. By moving the dirt outward, we gained another 5 - 7 feet of yard which will be supported by a retaining wall for the pool area. This will be shown more clearly in later photos.

		The photo on the left shows the narrow area that the dozer had to traverse in order to move the dirt to the lower part of our yard. You can see the deck supports on the lower right of the photo.
