My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Dirt Mounds on Empty Lot

14 years ago

I have an empty desert lot that is being used by bicycle riders, motorcycle riders and ATV's as a "playground." People have built dirt mounds and are using them as jumping platforms. The county air quality department is concerned about dust from the property and has indicated that I need to "stabilize" the soil for dust control. Would you all suggest that I have them removed or put water over them to form a crust? I'm thinking that if I remove or flatten them, then it might create more dust.
