Just Relocated to Arizona

Just relocated to Arizona from Chicago. Currently living in a ranch style home on a two acre plot surrounded by a 6 feet high cinder block perimeter walls with a cast iron fence in the front for vehicle entry. I just moved so I havent had any landscaping done. My exterior landscaping consists of sand and desert shrubs. Besides boarding windows and doors and all that I have a new idea, and want opinions...I see my neighbor down the way has a small bulldozer. Say I was inclined to take said bulldozer and take the sand and pile it up around my house. Leaving path ways only for my doors and garage,which is attached to my house. My house would end up looking like a big mound of sand. Anything I should worry about or add to this construction if I decided to do it? Do you find this valuable?

Um... you're not planning on piling the sand against the house are you? Not only is that a risk of collapsing the walls, it will eventually rot the house down. Do you find this valuable? |

Not to mention the loss of usable space. Using the sand to make walls is one thing (and trying to watch a zombie walk up sand dunes would probably be kinda comical) but other than that, I'm not sure it'd be beneficial at all.

As a fellow Arizonian, i can tell you that the sand idea isnt probably the best idea. Although, Im intrigued as to where you found a two acre plot with wall around it.
