Well, it might be a bit less than 20ft... Coming up the Driveway:
from the other end:
Final one from above:
Mostly concerned with the freshly scooped out portion. Was thinking of putting evergreen trees (thuja/etc) and sorta have them curve back as they grow (using ropes/stakes). Eventually turning into a hedge. There are TONS of granite boulers here, and a retaining wall will cost a fortune, prefer not to go that route. I was thinking maybe some variety would be good. like having an understory of something beneith the trees, on the lower portion of the hill? Suggestions? -Thanks |

| Who scooped out the dirt? How far up the hill have you looked? Are there similar scoops further up the hill? Is there a geotechnical/geology report for the site? It's hard to diagnose from a few photos but I would worry that you've bought a house where the toe of a larger landslide has been excavated to make a flat lot. |

| We own a couple acres around the house. My parents built the house over a decade ago (they did a survey/etc). house is sorta punched out of a hillside. Before retiring my father decided to push part of the hill back(hired guy with a back hoe), and he sorta half assed the job... It's perfectly stable, no sliding since it was done (almost 2 years now). PS: the 'crater' in the ground is a recently removed propane tank. Owning your own tank saves you a boat load in rental fees. |
