There’s a whole lot of dirt moving going on at Casa River.
Dirt is dug up.
Dirt is hauled off.
.
.
New and apparently better dirt is brought in.
.
.
And for the price they’re charging, it better be truly spectacular dirt.
.
.
Fabric is laid under the new dirt. Apparently it doesn’t like the old dirt and must have a barrier to prevent cootie contamination.
.
.
The new dirt is spread and tamped down.
.
.
And the new culverts await their new home.
.
.
Rocks are mixed with the dirt.
.
.
And at 5:00pm we had a not so lovely line of tortured lawn and a driveway filled with heavy machinery to keep us company overnight.
🥴

River's world..... 
Lol, the “new” dirt that’s being brought in has more aggregate (rocks) for better drainage. So, yes it’s better first or the sand that was removed. Sorry that you had to spend the night with heavy machinery, it must have been awful, I hear they snore really loud 🤣.

It seems like they are taking all the right steps. Where do the new drains go?

At the end of the driveway near the road. We have a ditch that runs on either side.

It’s supposed to be a barrier for frost heaves. Time will tell…

It’s not dirt. It’s soil. Dirt is what you sweep under your rug.

My horticulture teacher would give you the ‘look’ if you called it dirt.

I only refer to high grade black top soil as soil.
