To the left of the tree in the adjacent lot, there is a low spot that forms a very large puddle during heavy rains. At the lowest point it is about 12" lower than the middle of our yard. Our yard was being drawn down into this hole.
The ground elevation at the back corner was good and equal with the elevation at the tree. In between the tree and the back corner the ground drops about 8".
Nature was making all this ground unified. It was a great habitat for mosquitoes. I have stepped in and imposed my wants. I felt a little nervous exercising a little will- power to accomplish these things. Maybe I had a little fear that I did not really know what I was doing. But I felt very sure that I needed strong buffering between us and the lot next door in order that we may control of our space independently.
I am satisfied with these improvements. I am still happily surprised at how this work has improved the quality of life for us.
