Also...
I don't know what you did with the trees that you had taken down, but another valuable use for them might be some hugelkulture beds.
Personally, I'm interested in giving it a try, but haven't yet... Gotta be some way to get the sand to hold moisture... And my attempt at lowered beds was a dismal failure.
Anyway, the idea is that you pile the trees up in a ditch or ravine, and then cover with soil... Instant garden bed.
