How to Handle Slopes in your Landscaping

[@GODSPEAKS898]

These are wonderful ideas and although my backyard is not as large as the ones you are showing, the many different design ideas such as plant, flowers, and shrub placement, retaining walls, ideas for living, lounging, dining, and cooking areas have given me ideas to complete the look of my backyard and side yard. I have a ways to go but my area has been quite windy for the last three weeks. Thank you so much for always sharing your ideas as they are very helpful. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Yay! Thank u for this positive comment going into the weekend Janine. I truly appreciate your support ❤

[@tannercortes6110]

The slope I'm dealing with is no where the scale of the projects in this video but wow, thank you so much for talking through key ideas of creating destinations, and illustrating different ways to create retaining solutions. I'm pumped to tackle my little hill in suburbia USA thanks to you.

beautiful landscape architecture

Thank you Paul. I call myself a "Backyard Living Designer" as I TOTALLY LOVE getting people to enjoy their Backyards.

[@wendychetherington9809]

Wow! I live in North Wales and am struggling on my own with the hardscape in my garden. I live alone and its difficult trying to work projects alone. My garden is on three levels and on the right side its just a long slope, I;m digging it all at the moment and am finding old bricks, tiles, fire glass that has just been buried in the soil in the past, I am sore and disheartened. You are absolutely amazing and your clients must be thrilled. Well done to you and your team.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that I take the time to watch and give lovely comments. Thank you and and I hope u have a wonderful day ♥️

[@wendychetherington9809]

Ah, that is SO kind of you to read comments and respond. I'm not getting much further on. A builder had been recommended to me, he came and looked at the job and the 'garden', gave me a list of building supplies to order. I spent the spare cash I had on £186 worth of stuff, it was all delivered and that was months ago! It's STILL sitting in the driveway, I've managed to Carey ALL the cement blocks down into the back garden and still no sign of him. I'm actually wondering whether I should go on a course on how to lay footings, build a wall and plaster it myself, but I have a really painful back and I don't know I'd make it worse, because all the cement, sand and gravel would have to be taken down there somehow?!

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

That is unbelievable! I am very sorry to hear that. I hope he comes back and fulfills his commitment to you. Your property sounds beautiful ♥️

[@wendychetherington9809]

It is far from beautiful. I live in a lovely part of the world and am lucky to see the sea every day. The garden needs a lot of work and I've done some but I just don't know how to organise the levels and slopes. One slope is 28 foot long and about 9 feet wide: that will be next year's project. Right now I've just left it and given up on the whole thing.bi admit it, I'm defeated.

[@dar9430]

@@wendychetherington9809 Don't hurt urself. When the weather breaks, hire someone else to help w the tough part. Best of luck! (I'm in such need of stairs, a ramp or something just to safely get to backyard)

[@Pietervdv]

Love many of your ideas. I live in Portugal, close to the Spanish border and I have a plot of land that's overgrown and very rocky, so it's hard to give that area, which is about 2 hectares, some purpose. I was thinking of turning it into a park with different seating areas.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Love that idea Pietervdv! rocky soil can be back breaking to work with. Your idea for creating purpose sounds good. We try to stress that often. Thanks for commenting.

[@stevedohnal1412]

Great designs, love the “natural” look you get.

Where would you start with a backyard that is mostly rocks, roots and weeds were trees were taken down 2 years ago? Would you all clear everything out to start from a clean slate??

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

A design would be helpful so you you can create areas as you are re-arranging . . . Watch this video - it was something and the finish was amazing! paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/turf-backyard/ Hope this helps you . . . MusiqTruth

Beautiful work. We have a new home with a sloped backyard (slopes toward the house. Trying to decide how to handle that.

Find a good designer! If u can't find one in your area I will help you desing the space. Have a great day

@@BackyardDesignGuy Thanks so much for the reply.

[@Found4655]

@Magnum. my home has slope towards the house also. What type of project did you do? Do you have any drainage or flood issues?

[@MagnumVideos]

@@Found4655 We had the downspouts buried and the sump pump discharge. That seems to have helped quite a bit in alleviating the wet areas.

all the videos i find for landscaping slopes assumes you're at the top of the hill.. that's my neighbor. I'm on the side. how do you garden that hill? is my entire backyard supposed to be terraced-gardens and steps the whole way down? I wish I could find better info on this, lawns are bad for the environment and I live next to a small woods with lots of critters.

[@fishbaitzez]

The one with the boulders and hot tub might work at around the 9:36 mark. Had a lower retaining section at the bottom to help create a destination, then boulders/plantings/mulch going up.

How much is the averages cos5 for jobs like this

What kind of drainage do you use for these types of projects?

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Pretty hard to describe in a quick text.... but basically whatever is needed, many times it's French drains. Some manufacturers have specific drainage details... Hope that helps

How much did all this cost?

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Hi Wayne I appreciate u watching and commenting. We don't give pricing on this channel due to the fact that our viewers are all over the world and things cost different prices in different places. I would recommend checking with a local contractor and getting a ball park from them. You probably will not be able to get exact pricing until you have completed a design. I hope this helps. Have a great day

[@TheFinnmacool]

Where's that budget video?

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Did u find it. 4 down on popular videos

[@tailzzzzz]

Beautiful, but this is for people with money. I'm 57, and I can barely dig a hole for a tree in this soil. Actually, even the grass doesn't want to dig off in areas. I'd have to cut all of the dirt out myself with a shovel.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Yes, you most likely need an outdoor living Space.

How to . . . , except without the how.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

I would hope I helped you to "think" the how! If not sorry. I'll keep working on my craft 😁

Dude, why you bullshitting? The walls on the last house are River Rocks taken from a river. Those are not rocks from a quarry. Puuh-leeez!

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

That makes sense. The homeowner had told me the former but now that u mentioned it that doesn't make much sense at all. Although if you have ever dug deeper then 6" in the some areas of Portland Oregon it is like you're are digging in an old river bed. Maybe I can get behind that story after all. I guess I did not fact check but either way the walls are really old and very cool. Thanks for watching though and commenting. Have a great day
