Default Grading yard?

There must be some decaying trees and brush at several points in my

do you know the history of the property
well enough that it is truly buried
trees/brush?

until you know what is under there it
makes no sense to put fill over it. you
may have to keep doing it again and again.

get the shovel out and do some digging
and find out what you have down there.

if your area is prone to sink holes,
underground caverns or streams, has
abandoned coal mines, etc. proceed with
caution or hire a professional.
