Re: Ground ready for install
Someone else last year had some nice pictures of a retaining wall they built in just the same situation. I think it was a very high area on one side and a fair slope up the yard from there. Your clay/soil can be very corrosive and hold a lot of moisture so I would not backfill with that - even the pools that have instructions for backfilling include some very specific types of substrate materials that must be used or the warranty would be voided.
You should bank the pool some with something that allows very good drainage so that rain/water will not run under the rail and wash out any sand (your pool instructions will say how many inches to use), but thats only like several inches and usually like gravel or pea rock or something, not heavy or wet soil types that retain moisture - you want run off away from the pool.
Beats driving to the lake!
