A slippery slope

This is the view from the front door looking up the yard to street level. It is an even slope, and used to be filled with native ferns before we had to have the septic system replaced after that the yard never looked the same. They had a lot of excess dirt and when they tried to place it evenly around it killed all the plants. The ferns are making a slow comeback but it will take years for them to fill back in if ever.
