Have you tried taking a shovel to it? Get the area pretty even with the shovel and level in your garage then look into renting a roller to really smooth it out. I assume there's something like a home depot in your third word yuropoor country?

I'm from Germany so all this shit is available but I'm a fucking dev that is happy he's painted a room twice and is able to grow some tomatoes... to be honest taking a shovel to it or using a roller isn't exactly something I'm good at. And the professionals won't do a simple easy cheap solution for obvious reasons. I'm fine if it's only a seasonal solution.

Screw some wood planks into a short frame, dig out some dirt until the frame sits level (check with a level), pour cement or concrete into the frame and drag a piece of wood across the top of the frame to level it out. Once it dries you'll have a level spot for your pool. Bonus points if you lay down some rebar before you pour it, but I really doubt it will matter. You can add up to 10% crushed lump charcoal to the cement to improve strength and decrease weight, but it will darken the cement and it will heat up a lot more in the summer.

Most of these pools don’t really give a shit about uneven ground unless the slope is like 5+cm/m. Get the rocks and stumps out of the ground, but after that, just fucking send it.
