My yard was all dirt, and small.
Every time it rained, Rocket Man would go out and bring loads of mud into the house.
My friend Juan helped me last evening by acquiring a ton and a quarter (2500 pounds) of gravel, and then together we shoveled it
into my yard (through a very tiny gate!).
I am a bit worn out, but the yard is no longer a mud pit.
2500 pounds of gravel is a large amount!
