Actually, this is the final step in filling in the huge excavation which the previous owner made of the area around the septic tank. When I bought the land, there was a very deep hole which exposed the top of the vault. One day I noticed that one of the lids in the top had been moved and Stuart and I took quick measures to cover it up.
TOday, we took final measures to try to resculpt the mound into the landscape.
During the work, we realized that a pile of soil nearby which had no obvious hole near it, was in fact excavated soil from this hole. So both huge piles of dirt went in and filled up the hole.
It left a scar on the land, but it will heal.
The Osprey just went nuts during this work and the later mowing. They did a lot of screeching and flyovers. We are done with the area near them. Hopefully they will settle down. I really hate to bother them during nesting time, but there is such a small window in which to run equipment before the fire danger is too great.
After we finish up tomorrow, then in mid-May we will have to come back into certain areas and use a weedeater.
Stuart did a great job of avoiding oak trees (tiny ones), larkspur, mule's ears, and blue eyed grass. He also found big patches of bunch grass and hopefully we will have a lot of reseeding.
