Thanks for the update. It's been a fun project to watch. I have to admit that it's been a bit overwhelming seeing all that you did, and it got me to rethinking plans for my place.

I've been planning on building a short retaining wall for my drainage ditch that goes through my yard but haven't found any blocks that I really like the look of. Now I'm going to just remove all the dirt and plant grass so I can mow it. More work on the tractor, less money buying materials, and a totally different look.

Sod waterways are the best way to go when possible.

I have a 300 foot sod waterway in my yard that drains the neighboring Farmfield. in 2010 I had to redo it because of all the silt had filled in it, it had become marshy.
I redid where the water runs onto my property so that it doesn’t run quite so fast and now it has held up for 15 years pretty well without silting
