I was being half serious about moving fence. Forward, so you could park on even ground at least. I rented a little mixer and put these in, about 20 years or so ago. I now park my fifth wheel here. The one cracked from the weight and wet conditions there at times (trailer weighs about 9500 lbs). Had to place the one close to my well because of my gate placement as well.

This stuff turns the cheapest gravel or rock into a lifetime driveway. We use it in all our yards and it is simply amazing how well it works. Drains wonderfully as well.

ok so here are the pictures for illustration purposes.

1 looking through the gate at the slope and you can see where my truck got stuck and dug holes.

My neighbor with the 4x4 truck who pulled it out for me, he thought the pavers from Lowes would be enough, just looking for final opinions now that you can see it.

One good thing, you won't have to jack it up to let the water drain out.

Crawfordville, Fla.
 
Wait a minute......
Are you living on the side of a mountain? Do they have mountains like that in Crawfordville? Are you some kind of Cracker-Hillbilly?
You need to build some kind of terrace or everything you do is going to slide down the hill. First buy a Bob Cat and a Mack dump truck. You can get a trailer later (be sure to get the appropriate paper work on the trailer or Pelican will "wig -out"!) Go ahead and get the Laser grading attachment option on the Bobcat it's only another $8-10K. Lay up a retaining wall, spread out the geo-textile and back fill it with crushed concrete base, then install some Turf blocks and sod. For a mere $127,000.00 you'll be all set. Just throw it on your credit card. Summer's coming, get with the program, Bro' - this is getting serious.
Let me know. I'll bring the up-side down spray paint to help you lay it out - my contribution.
