</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Welcome. It would help if you took time and filled out your profile. Where are you from, what soil conditions do you have and such. That seems to be a lot of money to spend to dig a pool and landscape a yard. Maybe a little more info would help us help you spend your money. )</font>

Done. Thanks!

Where I live, just moving and spreading the landscape stone (crushed granite) would run about $2-$3k. Pool Dig $2k. Landscape irrigation $1.5k. Planting trees, shrubs, etc $1k. I also want to dig a pit for a trampoline, do some dirt mounding, and other stuff.

I'm in a new neighborhood, so several hundred homes around me need similar services. My plan is to do small jobs (not pools) for these neighbors, and sell the machine in a year or two. I'm not looking to get rich, just save a few $$ and have some "man-time" with my boy.

We have a lot of hard clay here, but it's generally down about 3'. My lot is bulit up, so I may not hit much "hard dig" clay.
