Hi All,
I took down an above ground swimming pool (20ft x 40ft) and now I need to fill in the area which it sat, which is about 1 foot deep.
I've called a few places about getting some fill dirt, and not surprisingly the cheapest places will just have a truck dump the dirt and leave.
I don't have an FEL, I only have a back blade. Does anybody have an idea of how I could spread out the piles to the point that I could use the back blade ?
I toyed with putting a chain around the pile, say 1 foot from the top and pulling it to "slice" off a foot at a time, but I suspect the chain would just pull through w/o moving much dirt.
I need an idea to save me the expense of hiring someone with equipment to spread the dirt around
Thanks !
