In suffolk county, what is involved in burying the pool (legally)? What is the approximate cost?
18 x 36 3.5 shallow end sloping to 8ft deep end was around 6k. This was a few years back, Old owner paid for it since the pool was in horrible shape and needed 14k of work with permits. Nassau makes you use some special dirt that costs a fortune. Use the cheap crap and fill the top layer with the expensive stuff. By the time the inspector came we already had grass.
This was in Oyster Bay, so most likely a dirt that only a cousin of a board member sells. I wish I was joking they required us to use a certain type of dirt.
My brother had his pool filled in. I believe you need a permit. I don't know anything about special dirt, but the inspector wants to make sure you're not filling the hole with broken down pool walls, pavers or concrete junk. You need to have a clean fill to fill in the hole. I think the dump truck driving over your property will make more of a mess then the job itself.
The job was about $5500, not including sod, fencing repair etc.
I'm thinking of doing mine and turning it into a dog run.
They use sand for that. DE is that white powdery stuff.
