Definitely do whatever you want with your land but thought I’d throw in my two cents on moles.

I gave up worrying about them after learning about all the good they do (aerating, eating grubs that turn into beetles that do harm my garden, etc). Turns out they don’t bother me at all. I live out in the woods though and don’t have a showy lawn.

Same here, my garden with raised half-finished hugelkultur is teaming with life: moles, voles, and chipmunks.

As soon as that happened the birds of prey started hanging out. Since my cat passed last year, a large 5 foot black snake has filled the void as the top preditor. (No worries it's a constrictor! Not venomous!)
