It is my understanding that higher raised beds have issues with the roots freezing. Like being in a big pot, if exposed to wind chill, the roots are not as protected from cold as they would be below grade.

Each of those culverts dump water onto my side of the road, where it sits. Each of those locations needs a ditch directing the water toward the river. I think if that water did not hang out on my land so much it would effect things.
Well you have the equipment now to take care of it! Good luck!
