There used to be an above ground pool in my back yard. Since it has

You say "used to be there". Was it actually removed or only filled in
with maybe the curbing removed to get it below ground level? If it was
just filled in you probably can't do anything with it as the water has
nowhere to go.


Um, it was an *above* ground pool. If he filled it in instead of removing it,
he's got a whole 'nother set of problems ;-)


I think tilling the area, or aerating (sp?) it in some way and
throwing out some grass seed, would go along way toward making the area
more normal. It's most likely really compacted.
Good luck,
