LEVELING REQUIREMENTS
If Verde Turf & Outdoors preps your yard, you do not need to read this. They are trained in all of these requirements and have extensive experience prepping Delphina Pools.
​
If you are using another landscaper, please send them this page.

If you are doing the work yourself, please read this in full.
01
APPROVED MATERIALS
-
Retaining Wall Materials: If you're building a box, use welded steel with a gauge of X. You cannot use wood (it will weather overtime) and you cannot use interlocking steel (it will separate and not hold the weight of the pool).
-
Fill-In Materials:
-
Less than 2 inches: You can just use decomposed granite.
-
More than 2 inches: You must first use road-base, compact it, then add decomposed granite.​
-
02
APPROVED EQUIPMENT
-
Compacting: If compacting more than 2", you must use an electric plate compacter. Hand compacting is not enough force to create a hard base.

04
APPROVED TOLERANCE
-
Tolerance: The leveled space must be within a 1" slope. We use a ZipLevel tool to quickly tell us if the ground is, in fact, level. You're welcome to borrow one from us by emailing us at hello@delphinapools.com.
