Beautifying an Edmond backyard

This customer had a beautiful backyard but it was full of debris and stumps (which was part of their cleanup process before I arrived.)  In the clean up process, I dug up over 50 stumps and moved almost a dozen large piles of limbs and wood into various piles in prep for small, occasional burns.  These piles would have taken forever to move by hand.

In the before pics, you can see their view barely extended halfway through their yard and from the back of the yard itself, you couldn't even see their house.

The end result looks fantastic!  They now have their backyard back and ready for seeding or whatever they choose.

Driveway erosion eradicated

This project involved traveling to a very remote area south of Perkins.  My customer has a beautiful acreage but consistently struggled with erosion across their driveway.  Here are some 'before' pictures showing all the erosion.

 We didn't have much to work with so I harvested some dirt from an obscure place on the property and used it to help level the driveway.  I also used the rippers on the box blade to work the dirt a bit.  Because I already had the backhoe on the tractor, I attached it to the front end loader to save time (and money for the customer).

This is not a very good picture and was taken before final grooming of the trench.  To the right, the land rises for quite a distance and this new trench will capture the water before crossing the driveway.


The end result was not only immediately driveable, as a long term solution it is ready for the customer to have gravel delivered and thus make a very nice entrance into their fantastic property. On the left of this picture is a new trench to capture most of the water before it ever hits the driveway.
