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. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️
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.

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.
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?!
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.
@@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)
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.
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.
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.
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??
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
I agree. I really like the Tandem wall. I hope your project goes smooth. I would love to see the before and after pictures. I love a good transformation ♥️
Paradise Restored Landscaping & Exterior Design you bet! I’ll definitely be making a CZcams vid which will show the full scope. 3-4 week ($150k) project. Check out my channel if you’re interested. 👍🏼
Amazing ideas, where are you located? My wife an I are building our dream home our very small slanted backyard started at approx. 8 feet tapered down we need help with bringing our ideas to life. Can you help us out please.

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
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.
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
@@BackyardDesignGuy Well I appreciate all the effort you put into the lovely video and all your gorgeous projects, but all I can afford are the "dreaded" cement block retaining walls but for me they look OK. :-)

beautiful landscape architecture
Thank you Paul. I call myself a "Backyard Living Designer" as I TOTALLY LOVE getting people to enjoy their Backyards.
Wow! This is just wow! I love it specially the nature look
Thank you SO MUCH❤
Thank you that was a great video!
Thank you SO MUCH ❤️
Some incredible landscapes in this video. Nice job
Thanks a lot HomeGrownPyro! Your comment makes us smile! Incredible landscapes? We love that wording and thank you again!
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.
@Magnum. my home has slope towards the house also. What type of project did you do? Do you have any drainage or flood issues?
@@Found4655 We had the downspouts buried and the sump pump discharge. That seems to have helped quite a bit in alleviating the wet areas.
Have you considered the arisolized sealers. The pressurize the house and atomize a sealer that finds the holes
No. I have not...thank u for the comment

Looks great! We’re starting a project in Augusta, GA this week and we’re using quite a bit on the tandem wall. Pretty slick product!

How to . . . , except without the how.
I would hope I helped you to "think" the how! If not sorry. I'll keep working on my craft 😁
Where's that budget video?
Did u find it. 4 down on popular videos
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.
Yes, you most likely need an outdoor living Space.
Way too much negative space with the mulch:plant ratio
Thanks for the advice to the community Jared. Appreciate your watching and commenting
@@BackyardDesignGuy walls looked great though, keep up good content watching for ideas on family members new house.
These are all great options...if you are rich 😂😂
this video basically just says, Hey spend thousands of dollars on your backyard and people will do stuff to it.
Lol. That's a crack up 😂
I can afford a couple of blocks... your solutions are massively over my budget. Thanks for.... nothing.
Thanks for watching and commenting ♥️. I hope one of these provided some inspiration. Have a great weekend.
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!
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.

$$$$
Lol. 🤑
beautiful results but waaaaaay above my means. Perhaps video should have been named "How to handle slopes by spending tens of thousands of dollars."
Thank you for the comment. I hope you found one of these inspirational
@@BackyardDesignGuy Well I appreciate all the effort you put into the lovely video and all your gorgeous projects, but all I can afford are the "dreaded" cement block retaining walls but for me they look OK. :-)
Thank you again for watching and commenting. I also appreciate the compliment about our work.
Too much block, walls....overdone. It’s not a plaza for god’s sake, it’s a yard.
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate that u took the time to watch and comment. Have a great day
I like the aesthetic solutions, and I love your responses :)
