Summer and I are planning on doing a bunch of work to the front yard of the house to help with our drainage issues. We are going to be bulldozing about 4 feet of dirt out about 30 feet from the house. All of the extra dirt will end up up the hill to create a flat spot before the 4 ft drop off to our flat front yard. Along with this, we are going to have to build a retaining wall that will be about 50 feet long and 5 feet high.
As long as we have the backhoe there to dig our footings for the wall, we are going to dig the footing for the entrance gate and front wall. Also, this will allow us to have a truck load of cement show up to pour all the footings we need at once…instead of hand mixing dozens of bags and moving them via wheel barrel.
This is the fence we are considering…you like?
