We have a couple of major problems with the property at an tigin. To start with, the house is on the lowest part of the property, so all of the yards slope toward the house. Not so good for keeping moisture away from the basement.
The second issue is that we have sand that goes a mile deep. There is a very thin layer of sandy top soil, then sand, sand, and more sand.
Martin has decided that we need to take up the sod, dig up any usable top soil, raise the grade with all of the extra sand that we have, and then put the top soil back down. At some point we will bring in manure to enrich what little top soil there is and then I get to plant flowers.
We've started raising the grade in the front yard and removing the sod and top soil from the side yard. It is a long slow laborious project.
