We did a lot of work on grading the property with Ken Clausing of A+ Construction. He and his crew replaced our septic lines, removed a lot of brush, graded a swale, graded a place for the propane tank, removed stumps and gave us lots of good advice for mountain livin'.
These initial grading projects helped us get a handle on managing the rain and brush that grow relentlessly. We did later projects that used these basic grading projects to build out terraces and increase our firebreak.
