Corner Lot Update: Its a Lake!

I knew the lot was low in spots, but I'd forgotten how low! This is why there is a layer of limestone out there. Its all washed in from the road fill. It seems that Tropical Storm Debby is going to help me in rethinking my plans.

The sycamore is on that little bit of a rise on the north end.

The mulberry is obviously NOT. I'll have to start looking around for some cypress trees. They can stand relatively dry ground, but aren't adversely impacted when flooding occurs. They LOVE IT!!  They could live in the lowest points.  So I'm looking seriously at getting in a large amount of fill dirt at some point in the future to raise the ground level wherever its practical.
