You or your dealer will mark the site for the new pool. You should think about sun exposure, access to a bathroom, areas for guest to gather (and to retreat from the afternoon sun), and access to the site. In general, people will gather on the side closest to the house at the shallow end of the pool. Pour your deck accordingly. Once the outline of the pool is marked with chalk or spray paint you are ready to dig the hole.

The backhoe operator will do most of the work, but DIYers must ensure the hole accurately matches the dig specs. You will have very large equipment in your back yard. It is going to be messy. Before trying to save that wonderful shrub you planted last year..or that sod that was looking perfect, keep in mind how much time it is going to take to work around them vs. just planting new. Most of the time, you will be better off to just replace anything in the way. Your focus for the next 72 hours should center on the pool installation. Installation of a pool is the perfect opportunity to re work the landscape as you have always planned...
