I used to have a landscaping version. The nice part was you could age the trees and see what they would look like in 5, 10 or 20 years. Sometimes they're too close.

My biggest issue right now in that area will be leveling it. Any recommendations?

My entire yard is up and down so will need to do some considerable leveling over the next season.

Make sure you don't alter flow of water to your neighbours. I know you had ponding issues in the past. Did you permanently solve them?

Civil is not my thing but my rudimentary understanding has load placed on saturated ground pushing up an equivalent weight of water. The pool could exacerbate standing water issues.

The drainage I installed has been very helpful and we're not seeing any ponding.

Unfortunately where I placed the drainage is also where I didn't properly compact the soil and it's where my dips are.

But leveling I'm thinking just buying 5-6 yards of topsoil (whatever doesn't need the next size truck) and just spread it out over the yard throughout the year as things compact and continue to settle.
