Help sink holes filling my yard
I purchased a new construction home that was built in 1999. Last
summer I had a dump truck full of mulch burry itself to it's axles in my front yard. I thought it might have been from the water line to the street and that the dirt was just soft in that area. Now that the snow has melted my back yard (cleared one-acre lot) is riddled with so many sink holes that I am afraid to let my 2 year old daughter walk in the yard. I talked to my neighbor and he said that instead of hauling the trees off the lot they were burried, leaves and all, in 3 or 4 large 20 foot deep holes. Some of these sink holes that recently appeared are 4 feet deep! I can see large indentations in the soil around the sink holes about 12 feet by 15 feet. What can I do? I was thinking of renting a bulldozer to pack down the areas and top it off with fill but I'm afraid I'd sink the dozer. Is it possible for a dozer to get stuck? Is this something best left to professional and if so do I call an excavator or a landscaper, or? Will I have to do this every spring for the next 25 years? So much for pulling the car under a shady tree in the back yard for a wax job! Any insight, suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Geo in Cleveland |
