Remember this is where we started...
So over the course of about 2 full days, the contractor pulled all the tree roots (some of them were at least 6 feet by 6 feet), created a gradual slope down to the 2nd level and leveled the 2nd level. It ended up clearing over 50 ft of extra space for us. It looks great but poor Dave for having to mow all that now :)
The contractor was amazing. So nice, honest (which is rare) and very cost effective. Other companies wanted to bring in 10-20 dump trucks of fill. Instead this company's plan equated to no fill need and just recycle of existing materials on our land. I would highly recommend them if anyone needs any work done. MPR Excavation LLC out of Altamont. 872-1014. Ryan is the son we used and his father Patrick is also wonderful.
Phase III is next. Build a wood box, hire someone to assemble the swing set, grow grass and add some landscaping....yes I know...it never ends with me! Hopefully it will all be worth it for the girls to enjoy over the next few years.
