My camera is an old one so the resolution is not wonderful. This first photo shows how extensive the moss is in my backyard. All the top soil has been washed away. When we bought the place in 2009 the back yard was completely covered in pine bark mulch which pooled in the back corner/alleyway with the first big rain. This spring has been very wet so the moss is thriving in the poor wet clay soil.
The second photo shows the beginnings of my project. This side yard (originally a dog run) is only about 10 or 12 feet wide and is separated from the main backyard by a wooden fence. My little ditch for my creek bed is only about 15 inches wide although I am widening it more as I go downhill. The dirt coming out is going along the side to hold down the weed block cloth. As I progress I will add more photos. It may be a couple of weeks before I can get it all dug out.
