You have just stumbled onto one of the big problems of AG pools--nobody ever realizes the expense of leveling the dirt. Digging down is STILL cheaper than building up.
Leveling the site can cost more than the pool. No joke.

Leveling is a big pain in the you know what and frustrating. How well I remember. It was the hardest part. But. SO worth it!
Re: Need an Installer for a 24 ft round in Chicago Area
Had to do it twice, once for a 15' Intex then for my FantaSea. The SE end is on the ground and the NW end is elevated almost 3 feet! Had to use retaining wall block and fill it with Quarry Product--like crushed stone only not as clean, but just as much drainage and higher coefficient of friction. Cost a painful fortune (few AG pools cost as much as that base!) but well worth it.
