Dumb me. I went all over on my land to collect correct size rocks for a
retaining wall. My front lawn runs downhill pretty radical. Now, its not
radical at all. Should have use those utility poles instead.
Would have be easier to trim grass as well with a continuous run using a
utility pole, instead of rocks with intermittent openings. Spank me.
