Dayton's soil is primarily composed of clay, which presents unique challenges during pool removal. Clay soil is known for its poor drainage and tendency to expand and contract with changes in moisture content. This can lead to settling issues if the backfill material isn't properly compacted. Our team utilizes specialized compaction equipment, such as plate compactors and rollers, to ensure the soil is adequately compacted in layers. We also often incorporate gravel or other drainage materials to improve water flow and prevent future problems. The frost line in Dayton is approximately 30 inches, which means the backfill needs to be stable enough to withstand freeze-thaw cycles. Depending on access, we may use smaller equipment like skid steers to minimize disruption to your property.
