When it rains like that, it washes out the driveway and causes all sorts of erosion issues that wouldn't happen if I had more time to construct barriers. I did get a short rock wall made in front of one of the piers on our house that keeps washing out because of the drip from the roof and it helped tremendously. everwhere there is something like a rock or branch on the ground, silt builds up behind it, so i'm using that principle to create barriers where we need them. it's not a problem where the grass is on the ground or trees cover the hills, it's only a problem where we humans try to build something in the hills. but i'm learning and slowly making progress to correct things. did this last year in my garden and it made a big difference.
