The best equipment for digging a pool is:
* Excavator - large machine used to dig and move earth.
* Backhoe - smaller version of an excavator, ideal for tight spaces or small projects.
* Bobcat/Skid Steer Loader - can be used to grade the area and remove excess soil.
* Shovels & Picks – essential tools for detailed excavation work.
Overall, an excavator is usually the preferred choice as it offers great versatility in terms of both power and size. It also allows you to dig deeper than other machines, making it more suitable for larger pools.
