Yes (the picture), there should be a valve there under a few inches of mud.

(dig around with hand. You don't want to damage pipe, etc.)

Turn lever CW (clockwise) to close. That means OFF.
(lever should line-up with pipe before turning-off)

Turn lever CCW (counter clock wise) to turn back ON.

Make sure you are turning in the correct direction or you could damage the piping.
If correct direction, and still way too hard to turn; you should probably call a plumber, instead of doing hundreds? in damage.

Yes, turn-off in garage if possible.
