View from the top of the house back toward the street. We decided to dump the fill down the hill from the street to reduce transit time for the tractor moving the dirt to the top of the house. Since the tractor time is by the hour reducing the time results in substantial savings from having to move the fill from the front or side of the house.

The red line on the corrugated pipe indicates the approximate top of the fill when completed.

Thanks,
