About three weeks ago, I posted an item about some erosion along the front of our property. Today, since the temperatures were in the comfortable range of mid-eighties, I started transporting boulders from the back property and placed them along the edge of the path that the runoff takes when we get our summer gully-washers.
I still have a way to go before I will be done. I have some more one-inch red gravel to place on the bare strip on the right end of the area. I also will be transporting more medium-sized boulders to place in front of the ones I brought down today. I also intend to extend the rock wash at the right end a couple of feet to the confluence with the runoff coming down the road.

Not sure what your finished project will look like but the stones reminded me of New England stone walls (I grew up in New England)…here’s some ideas if you desire

Thanks for the link, Norm. We’re not exactly building a wall, but some of those look like we could use them along the RV drive out back!
