Mr. Price built up the front yard enough to make a circle drive around the oak tree (the tree with the bench beside it to the left of the picture) and not have to worry about driving off the edge or hitting the house. I added the bolders and cedar logs to help prevent someone from driving over the edge. It is a good 6 foot drop on this side of the bolder in the picture.
Mr. Price did a lot of bulldozing to get our yard level and then he brought some topsoil in. I planted bermuda grass and Amy and I kept it watered till it was growing good on its own. Even with all the rain we have had lately our yard still isn't a muddy mess. I put the bolders back here to keep people from driving on the grass. So far, only one person has hit them with a vehicle. The kids miss all the mud but Amy and I sure don't. Next spring we will start putting in flower beds and plant some bushes but for now we will just have to be happy with our grass, bolders, and cedar logs.
