PostHeaderIcon Landscape ideas to prevent water from standing around pool?

pool landscape

We have a 30′ round above ground pool. When the pool was dug out, one side of the yard was on a incline. Now, when it rains, water rushes down into that area (there’s also a deck above some of this area). During heavy rain, the standing water had pushed the sand from under the pool and the liner ripped. (We now need a new $1,400. liner install). In the area that we’re concerned about, there’s a 2 1/2 foot deep slope. We’ve been told not to put dirt or rock against the pool.

What do we need to do to prevent water from rushing down this 2 1/2 foot deep slope or even prevent this dirt from falling in, as it has been over the past 3 years. We’re also worried, now, that the post from the deck is starting to become unstable because of the dirt falling towards the pool.

landscaping rocks

i have small rocks as part of my landscaping, apparently it is supposed to be “low maintenance” the people who lived here before me never got up the leaves or grass clippings so they are covered, when i rake them up it gets the top leaves off but all the decomposed grass and leaves is in between all the rocks and looks bad, how do i get it cleaned up properly?
leaf blower doesnt work , the leaves are all stuck to the rocks down inbetween them, they have turned to much basically.
