1. What if you hit rock or water when you dig?
2. Exactly how much dirt will there be?

Lots of facts in this video. We got a 34ft pool installed last year - the pool company warned us the grass etc would be trashed and they weren't wrong. Its an incredible amount of earth and our backyard looked like the moon for a few weeks. When they were done they trucked away the dirt and leveled the yard so we could lay new sod. We were warned about extra charges for hitting rock or water, but fortunately it was all sand and a couple of old tree stumps that were easy to remove.
Solid info. Thanks man
Digging hole myself anyway... got backhoe for $340 and if i get it Friday evening I have it till Mon at 4:30 for that price. I can dig it in couple of days. I wonder how much y'all would charge...
Set reasonable expectations!!
Yeah, totally agree with this video.................did not have the 32000,00 to hire people to do my pool so my sons and I tackled the job. We live on the side of a mountain and the area behind the house was the only logical place to put pool. I rented the Mini X and started.....we hit rock and the Mini X did a fantastic job but we still had to rent a jack hammer to knock out some of the rock the Mini X could not get. The work was heavy, and very hot down in the 8 foot section of pool. It was terrible and physically demanding using that jack hammer and even at times we had to use a hammer and spike to get it exactly right. We were dragging out pieces of limestone that was six feet long and 2 to 3 feet thick! The sun beating down on us and 90 degree outside with about 110 in the pit with all that rock surrounding us. Anyone would be surprised at the amount of dirt you will pull out of that hole! I am lucky however since I live on a mountainside with ten acres, I have plenty of places to put the dirt.
If I lived in a development, or did not have the space I have here, I would of had to hire someone to get rid of the dirt, etc.
It's all easy with the right tools and understanding of basic geometry. The labor is the hardest part. Jack hammer is a no go. You should have rented a hydraulic hammer attachment for the excavator. Most pools can be dug in 1 to2 days giving circumstances.
Just finished my 2nd dig for epic pools. Here for tips
How did they go? What did you learn?
I would like to see how many people can fit in different size pools because when looking at pools they are ALWAYS EMPTY not for us to see how much a given pool size occupies a number of swimmers.

I'm a very experienced Fiberglass Pool installer and I'm looking to install some pools in the Charlotte NC area ...put me to work
How about become a dealer?
@@RiverPools yes please
@@RiverPools I have installed San Juan aloha dolphin Alaglass Sun and Hatteras pools... The best products so far and by far is the sun fiberglass pool I have installed one of their pools oceanfront three floors off the ground

Thatâs a video âŠ.informative.
The only issue I disagreed with would be the excavation not saving money. I run an excavating company and if someone came out and told me they wanted a pool area dog thatâs about 10 to 15 grand in my pocket.
On average how much does it cost per day to hammer out ledge????
I hope this video was useful for someone
I have a inground pool . The pool dept end is 12 feet . How can I change it to a 4 feet pool with or without the lien
Hi Sondra! It can be done, but most likely it will take some extensive planning. Your best course of action is to find a local pool pool renovation company and have them assess the project.
Easy. Demolish what is to be subtracted. Fill and form. Tie in and gunite
I want to make a pool but my house does not have an rv gate for the backhoe loader what do I do someone pls answer
You'll most likely need to remove a section of fencing in order to get equipment to the backyard.
If removing a panel is not possible then we can use a crane to lift the excavator over the fence
How wide does my driveway entrance need to be to get that excavator inside
Need about 12'. Here's a link to a video that goes into that a bit. czcams.com/video/WWohuTqseic/video.html
75g is the best medium power. If you can get the trucks closer that's better. Skid loader will move frequently back and forth. All will be product in the end. 8 foot clearenc should be nice.
I share an older asphalt driveway (easement) with my neighbors. Do you think the equipment/machinery would wreck the driveway during an install?
Great question! It is very, very likely.
If theyâre rubber tracks which it most likely will be if itâs a mini excavator then as long as you stay straight and donât twist on the asphalt youâll be okay
Ten to twelve loads
Wow 162k subs
Mako Shark! Where've you been?! Missed you and your comments on the sly!
River Pools thank you! Well we planned our pool in January and is now starting (August 12th) 2 months behind because of all the rain we have had the past few months but now weâre finally getting it done the trees have been removed the fence is coming down this has been our dream since we moved here 9 years ago from New Orleans also sour channel is growing like a lot keep up the good work guys!
So where do you live now? You're getting a 20x40 right? Pics or it didn't happen...Gauging our success on subs alone? We'll keep trying.
River Pools we live in Wisconsin it hasnât happened yet it is August 12th previously it was starting earlier
@@LearnToCompound well document the whole thing and send pics. We do get excited for anyone getting a pool. There's just something about that smile on your face during that first cannonball no matter what kind of pool you're jumping into.
People in your neck of the woods must be fairly thick if they donât calculate for these scenarios
Sorry - positive vibes onlyâŠ. Woke - happy, dance and kiss đ I
You forgot #5: Why put in a swimming pool in the first place?
You lost to the timer this time
Who buys a pre-fab pool? Lame
Somebody that doesn't want to replace a vinyl liner every 3 years or resurface concrete/ gunite
Would you call this lame? czcams.com/video/PUi_UwFzjK4/video.html We think not. đ
Javier, We can't find the mic drop emoji...Do you know where it is by chance?
A pool is a pool. You got one and some people don't. Budget is key and having is desire to own a pool. A Corvette is a Corvette. No matter what year or model. Its still what its supposed to be. A pool. BBQ at my house. Pool parta----y
