This is quite a project! Make certain that there is no building or removal permit required and that your mortgage company is aware of your plans before you get going on this.

Answer

I am going through this process right now. I calculated the average depth of shallow half to be 4.5 ft. To fill shallow half is (16 x 16 x 4.5) = 1152 ft2. Divide that by 27 (ft3 in yd3) = 42.7 yd3. I then doubled that amount for the deep end so came up with a total of about 128 yd3.

I figure the 128 will be about 8 loads of cheapest dirt and 2 loads of top soil. In NE Arkansas, that ill be about $1600.

My pool is a hybrid pool with concrete bottom and fiberglass sides. I'm going to cut and pull out fiberglass sides and use a Bobcat to lift concrete skirt and dump into pool.

I have read that you should break up the bottom concrete, but since the shallowest concrete will be at least 3 ft under the surface, I think that will be very little problem. Anyone have thoughts on that?
