You can have the backyard of your dreams even if your yard slopes. A retaining wall tames a problem slope, giving you more room to work and play outside. Do-it-yourselfers with a little experience can usually complete walls up to 4x12 feet in a weekend, but it's important to recognize when it's time to call in a professional. Before you start this project -- or any landscaping project -- call your local One Call at 811 to have workers come out and mark buried utilities so you don't accidentally disrupt those. This federally-mandated national number was created to help protect you from unintentionally hitting underground utility lines while working on projects that require digging.
