We had to dig down 3 feet on one side for my above ground pool to level it. Can we back-fill it?

Question

Can we safely back-fill up against the side of an above ground pool without collapsing the side of the wall in or do we need to put in a retaining wall?

Answer 1

You should be fine you there will be enough support *** long as you make sure the dirt is compacted. And be careful when it rains because the dirt can get washed out so keep an eye on that.

Answer 2

Retaining wall would be a lot cheaper than a new pool.
