Default Yet Another Radial Question

Here is the scenario:

Hamshack on the west side of the house.

OCF dipole between two trees running perpendicular over the house with
the Balun directly above the shack (now *that* is handy)

Butternut vertical on the east side of the house. 12 radials so far.

Now here is what brings about the question. Over the winter months, I
had to have my sewer line to the street replaced, which ended up making
a huge mess out of my front yard. This means that I will probably end up
tilling and replanting a large part of the yard.

Is there any point to laying radials in the front yard? They would be
quite a ways (~50 feet) from the radials around the Butternut.

The main reason I ask though, is that I thought I heard here some time
ago, that a dipole would perform better over a good ground system.
