This past week I have visited a local Rock yard daily; so far I have picked/hauled/unloaded/placed 3.05 ton of rock (6100#). No wonder I have Linguini arms. I am attempting 2 different projects: the front yard re-do, and various retaining walls for anywhere there is a severe slope.

The boulders below were delivered & temporarily placed. They're going to be sunk into the ground more in order to shore up the slope off the corner of the driveway. When the parcel next door was developed, the city gov't rules/code did not consider the ongoing impact of redirecting watershed, which resulted in our inheriting the problem. This is a prime example of " 'Good enough' is never done".
Hopefully, this will curtail any further erosion, and I get boulders!
