We terraced our sloping block


It took us over 12 months but we did most of it ourselves. A 14 degree slope is now 3 terraces with 27 tonne of sandstone in gabion cages and sandstone crazy pave stairs down the side. The eventual plan is a covered deck on the second last terrace and a plunge pool on the bottom one (so there's a reason to go all the way down the back). Also considering espalier citrus at the top of each wall because our yard faces west.

  1. I love this, it looks fantastic!

    I also love that you left a space for a slip-‘n’-slide track.

    Looks awesome, with some trees around the retreats, especially the plunge pool will be perfect escapes!

    You should be super proud of that effort. Going to be a wonderful space to enjoy when it’s done.

    How much did it cost? If you don’t mind me asking.

    I love the house styles what area do you live in, roughly if you’re comfortable telling?

    Where’d you get the cast concrete testing cylinders from and what’re they worth?
