Thanks for the reply. It is mostly red clay, with some natural rock mixed in. So far the maintanance has been to add soil to where the erosion or ruts are forming. We are actively trying to get the grass growing. I was even thinking of putting a mesh over the top and sides to prevent erosion and get the vegitation established.
