Dirt backed up to house to hide skirting?

[David Oxhandler]

HardiePlank is not designed to be used a skirting as it must be installed a minimum of 6" off the ground. Get the most substantial skirting system around which is System-1 skirting by Hoffman Concrete. System-1 is designed to be backfilled against. System-1 is what skirting should be- 100% solid concrete AND as you can see below it looks great.
