How can you make a sloping garden into a level garden ?

our garden is 126 feet long and 17 feet wide. when you are standing on the patio area outside the conservatory doors,your feet are level with the top of fence at the bottom of the garden. therefore,over 126 foot the garden level drops 6 foot ? What gradiant of the drop from the top to the bottom of the garden ? I have the idea of having a brick wall built ,17 foot wide and 6 foot high across the bottom,and two walls built up the sides,these two walls would be 126 foot each ,then the measurements become more approximate than accurate ? (ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE) the two side walls would vary in height the closer you get to the patio area ,the walls would finish just short of the patio area . starting at the bottom of the garden the sidewalls would be 6 foot high for 20 foot length then 5 foot high 20 foot length then 4 foot high 20 foot length then 3 foot high 35 foot length then 2 foot high 30 foot length to patio area ,ground level ? homeowners,terraced,side access only HELP ?

It sounds like you already have a plan. There are retaining wall blocks available that you can either install yourself, or have it done, that will do the trick. They come in various colors, shapes, and sizes.





You could also do a "Step" type garden, separating various plants of your choice on each tier. Be advised you will have to bring in a LOT of dirt for this. It will be costly, but sure looks good when you get it done.

Reply:yep retaining walls stepping down is your only option. also at the high end if you have a 6 foot drop your wall will need to be 1m %26lt;3feet%26gt; higher than ground level so noone can fall off it. also for the fact your house is side access will make the job harder. alot of wheeling materials either the long way or direct through the house%26lt;sand, cement, soil, concrete, blocks, etc..%26gt; its a big job and no one will want to do it, so expect high prices,or do it all yourself on your days off!!! most hire centres have small diggers which you can move in the rubber tracks, to fit a standard 2' 6" door opening allowing you into the back garden through your house. again a lot of mess and lots of work........
Reply:To me that just sounds like a lot of work %26amp; cost.





Why only 17 feet wide %26amp; 126 feet long?





What is to ether side of this?





I would think it would be better to make the garden wider %26amp; shorter.
Reply:It will cost you a fortune for the building of the walls. There are also laws governing safety too. Can't you buy railway sleepers or imitation concrete ones, and build your garden up in steps? If you go to a builder's merchants you can get catalogues for free which contain different design ideas you can look at. Most catalogues also contain instructions on how to do the work yourself, and you will save lots of money by doing this. Good luck.

Reply:I am no gardener but I know what u mean, I would say the easiest way would be is to build a brick wall at the bottom of ur garden and try and level it out, u may need more top soil or u may be lucky as long as ur gardens level hasnt dropped too much. The other way would be to remove soil but it would drop the level. Please let me know if I have been of any help.
