How to handle a backyard with a hill

6 years ago
We are about to close on a home that needs a yard makeover. We got excellent ideas for the front of the home. Now we're thinking about the rear.

There is currently an old, large concrete slab and some misc. fencing. We are thinking something tiered. Both neighbors have nice yards, though we haven't snooped too much. One has a tiered yard with a patio/water fountain/wood pergola, and one has more trees, a naturallook with a screened in porch or gazebo. Their yards appear to be the same as ours, flat then hill and not too large.

We have twins who will be 1 soon. There are two walkable parks so dont need a playground or anything, but want to be mindful of little people.

Sorry if the pictures aren't ideal, I can't get inside the house for a proper angle without our agent. The line of dirt leading up the hill is more or less our property border. There is a car port and wooden retaining wall next to the car port. I'll post
