Last fall we had to take down our old garage that was falling down and we built a new one on the other side of our house. We love our new/functioning/non-dangerous/usable garage, but we lost our fenced in backyard (and we finally got our dog) and had a giant whole where we planned on gardening.
We finally broke down and ordered some dirt on Craigeslist to fill in the hole. Having no idea about anything landscaping, we attempted to order 20 yards of dirt. Luckily, they could only fit 16 on a truck because 16 yards was way too much! I returned home to find a mountain of dirt, part of it in the alley. We spent the next 3 weekends frantically trying to move all that dirt.
This is a picture about two-thirds of the way through the process:
Finally, we got all the dirt moved, built a retaining wall (with the help of my dad) and had are brand new garden ready to planting.
