Not knowing whether your land is flat or not, here's a thought.  We live
on several acres in the California coastal mountains. The previous owner
used tires as erosion control on the roadcuts into the bank.  This is a
very rich ecosystem, so the native shrubs (and non native berries!) have
quickly grown over the tires and really made them part of the landscape. 
They're still visible to some degree, but not the eyesore you might think.
And, they are a great (not to code) retaining wall here. Let other
financial help with your tire dilemma.  Thanks...and good luck.
