We have an acre lot on the outskirts of Louisville Kentucky (Oldham county)and our back yard needs to be re-graded. We have some drainage issues.
This will require leveling out some "mounds", filling in a large spot where a pine tree used to be and building up around the house foundation. I'm guessing that one dump truck load of dirt would be more than sufficient.
I was thinking about trying to do this myself by renting a Bobcat and a tiller attachment, but I may be getting over my head--- Although the bobcat would be a blast to drive.... The rental for two days would be about $300.
To top it all off our septic system's lateral field is in the back yard.
Any thoughts would be appreciated... or a pro in Louisville area to look at this ...
