How to Level a Sloped Yard is a video.
Changing the slope of your yard is labor-intensive and cost-prohibitive.To prevent water from puddling against your foundation and eventually entering the home, you need to slope the yard away from your house, but you can improve it with a retaining wall and fill dirt.
Wrap the stakes with twine and set them every 10 feet.The yard slopes at least 6 inches for every ten feet if you adjust the twine.
A retaining wall can be built at the end of your property.You don't have to use mortar if you use interlocking wall blocks.Set the first row of pavers in a level trench and build them up from there.The seams should be staggered for strength.There is dirt behind the retaining wall.
Haul in dirt to fill your yard.Quality top soil is used for the last 6 inches of the job to promote healthy grass growth.
The dirt can becompacted with a lawn roller.There are hills and valleys in the yard if the dirt is notcompacted.
