The ground around our Camellia didn't wash during the huge onslaught of water last week. We just have the front gutters that the house came with.

Things are different here, no basements to flood and super absorbing sandy soil.

Unless things change, I don't see the need. There were puddles here and there that absorbed within a hour after the heavens opened. I personally have NEVER seen so much rain in such a short time.

We may have a lucky elevation with a half wall in back that separates us from Odell.
