Filling in a Swimming Pool the Right Way

Filling in a pool isn’t just about dumping dirt and calling it a day. It’s about doing it properly. If you don’t get the soil and drainage right, you’ll end up with a sinking lawn or poor landscaping. And that’s where we come in.

We install engineered fill materials that provide solid compaction and ensure the area’s ready for whatever you want to do next, be it landscaping or construction. We make sure your yard is level, solid, and able to withstand the elements for years to come.

Rob S.

MDL took on the project of getting our backyard re-sodded, adding a stone patio and addressing standing water issues and clogged window wells. They did an amazing job and we are very happy with the result. The crew was always on time, courteous and friendly, they always cleaned up at the end of the day.
