My backyard is relatively flat and I would like to have some good sized terrain to have bridges, trestles, etc. I'm not really in a position to bring in 16 tons of dirt, at least not yet.
What are the thoughts of roughing it out with hardware cloth and covering that with concrete? Kind of like monster scale of what the N/HO crowd does. It would make things go a lot faster for me to get something up. I'd arrange it so there would be plenty of dirt areas for plants, etc.
I've seen this done in exhibits for wildlife, etc. and it usually looks pretty good.
Any experiences, good, bad indifferent? Any tips, suggestions, pointers?
Thanks,
Michael
