Now this make take a couple of trips; but if you are quiet and crafty it will get the deed done. The trick is when your done; you "smooth over" the pile where the gravel was taken and they are none the wiser. I can tell you from a first hand account and the eyes of a 10 year old; this method works well. :)Margaret Holdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050769349322892694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-78514585464399010332017-04-14T21:13:40.691-07:002017-04-14T21:13:40.691-07:00Dang!!!!

About two years ago the county came through and cleared under our lines along the road and down the side of the property where it runs and connects to our power pole.

In this area, and I do live in a touristy village, all I see is that rust-coloured mulch around everything. Yeah, it can be pretty, but people spend so much money on it every year.
