Our backyard was a hard fought victory. We had to contend with impervious red clay soil, all that was left after the builders scraped all the top soil off. Not only that, but they left a slope that slanted toward our house. There was literally nothing in our backyard except a few scraggly patches of grass. So as soon as we could, we had the slope leveled, built a retaining wall, and then began the process of improving the soil and planting. We are still working in this area, but as you can see, we are making progress.
