Just moved into our newly built house and we would like to tackle the yards first. The front is flat and we didn’t know that our back yard sloped like this, so we had grand plans for a flatter space.
Please help with creative ideas? The only thing I can think of is retaining wall along the back and full it up to be flat or have a step down deck and step down from the garage/laundry path with a raised bed in between to retain the house? I have no idea. Never done anything like this before.
Measurements are in mm. It’s really hard to see the slope and difference in levels in the photos but the flattest part of the yard at the level of our back neighbours seems to be approx 400mm.

I forgot to add that my wants for this space is as much room as humanly possible to grow vegetables and dwarf fruit trees, and my husband would like a small shed for garden tools and a spot for a fire pit.
All good ideas. Prioritize your must have items on your sketch. Retaining wall helps with sloped space as well as decking and raised flatbeds for vegetable to keep pests away.
