This stuff is hard for me. I'm perfectly capable of dealing with this but it'll take me weeks of evenings and weekends, which makes it tempting to pay somebody that can probably knock it out in a day.
Of course then the problem is the time vs money thing...at most points in my life I've felt like I had clearly more of one than the other and right now I feel like I don't have excess of either. So i may just settle on seeding grass in the area that's already cleared and leave this problem for next fall. Sure would be nice to have all that firewood drying out for next winter though.

they left me with crap for space around the back corner of the patio behind our master bedroom. I found myself having to step up onto the patio and back down when I'd round the corner, otherwise the outside foot would slide down and collapse the topsoil.
I wasn't thinking about forum use so I didn't take a before photo. The slope got pretty steep just barely outside the edge of the sod.
So I spent a lot of the past two weekends gathering rocks from around the property, ranging in size up to the biggest I could leverage into a wheelbarrow, building a slope that could actually support itself and backfilling with about 12 wheelbarrow loads of fill dirt and then topping off with 2 more of topsoil.
I still may end up putting a little bit of railing right there around the corner just to keep people (including myself) from stepping off the edge in the dark after one too many beers.
