The arbs make a nice barrier. Nice job! Another way to do it getting more privacy is to make (2) rows and stagger them at mid point. You can spread them slightly further apart but will end up with a few more bushes. That was a very good deal for the price of them. The berm is tall and narrow, so wood chips may not stay well. I put a clump of 8' blue spruces on a tall burm; used a weed barrier and covered it with river rock. Makes a nice maintenance free natural barrier without erosion.

I also noticed the 2 stage blower on your other pictures. Does that work very good? I picked up another cub a few weeks ago. It was an older model 782 (red) but only had 389 hours on it. It has a 2 stage blower about 46-48" wide with metal cab and 3 point hitch for $880.00. The blower mounts to the 3 point and sticks further out front (not a cub blower). It has tire chains and a new battery. It was a 1984 model tractor with less hours than my mid-90's models. I thought I got a pretty good deal. I also paid another $87.00 for a 4500 Watt tractor mounted generator. If you say yours works good, I may consider using it next winter vs: a FEL and backblade on my CUT.
