How can you level out your garden that slopes downhill on one side


Answer:

Answer 1, Level an Uneven Garden

You will need to fill one side with earth to bring it to level or dig out one side down to level.

Answer 2, Additional input

If the degree of slope is severe, even the fill will tend to taper as a result of erosion, so I suggest installing some kind of retaining wall at the low end. Depending on location and the degree of aesthetics required, the retaining wall could be nothing more than some staked boards to sandbags to concrete, or an expensive stone wall.

Answer

First, you should make sure that leveling out the area will not remove drainage that is necessary to keep your house high and dry. You may need to consider adding a drain under the additional soil--the pipe can send water out to the street using gravity.
