Sand After Pool is Gone

by Mrs. Val Keating

We have just dismantled our above ground pool. We will not have another. I can't think of what to do with the sand. Any ideas?


Hi. How your yard is landscaped will have a lot to do with what the sand could be used for. Sand is good for leveling low spots in grass lawns. It is good to mix up in gardens and flower beds. With a grass lawn some of the sand could be spread out for leveling low spots and the rest rotor tilled into the dirt. The area could then be raked off and reseeded.

If the yard is landscaped with rocks or gravel the sand could just get covered up. If that would leave the area to high, and you have no other place to put it, the sand could be loaded into a pickup and hauled away.

Sand bags have various uses around many homes. You probably have enough sand to fill quite a few of them. If you don't make them to heavy you could even donate a couple each week to the trash man to get hauled off.

Check with your neighbors, any of them needing sand may be able to haul it off for you.
