transforming rv parking into a yard: part 3

no power tools were needed for this step. just a truck big enough to haul a yard of dirt.

our back yard was constructed rather strangely. an expanse of grass was separated from the sea of asphalt by a retaining wall of sorts (i.e. a line of big rocks). the asphalt side was fully 18 inches lower than the grass side. removing the asphalt necessitated bringing in many yards of dirt to prevent earthquakes from originating on our property (or something like that).

these pictures are after 5 yards of dirt - and it still needs more!

this is the woodpile. it's a baby woodpile.
that pathetic, minuscule pile of rocks is our fire pit. we have decided to enlarge the fire pit.

... and this is where we leave this series for now, since this is where our rv parking project stands for now (plus some stray grass and weeds growing in the new dirt). steps 4 and 5 involve more dirt and planting grass, but that will be a while.
