My husband had 4 yards of pea gravel delivered. And because he didn’t want to ruin the lawn or the new driveway, it was dropped at the outer reaches of our property.

.

.

Good for the lawn, but bad for his back.

.

.

He built a little ramp.

.

.

And proceeded to haul small loads back and forth…

.

.

All day long.

.

.

Dumping them under the torn off porch…

.

.

To try and level things out.

.

.

It may not look like a long way, but when you’re his age? Trust me, it feels like a mile.

.

.

Wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow.

.

.

Dumped and spread.

.

.

It’s hard to tell in the pictures but the difference in land height from right to left is a foot.

.

.

Here, left to right.

And filling in 12 inches of a 30 foot span?

Is more than a one day job.
