        "text": "Yes, once an in-ground pool is properly removed and the area is correctly backfilled and compacted, you can typically build new structures or landscape over it. For landscaping or light structures like patios or sheds, a standard backfill and compaction method is usually sufficient. However, if you plan to construct a permanent, heavy structure like an addition to your home, a full pool removal with engineered backfill and compaction is highly recommended to prevent future settling issues. Always consult with a structural engineer for significant construction plans.",
