It would have involved a lot of up front investment - more than we had - but I still think it would have worked.
My (now former) CEO basically did that for himself. He's got a bulldozer, a grader, and excavator, etc... The front of his property is wooded so you couldn't see him doing it, but it backed up to a bike path. He had a 10 acre sandbox and he'd reshape it when he was stressed out....
