The job
A steep back yard washed soil onto the patio every storm. Nobody used it, because there was nowhere flat to stand.
We cut three terraces into the slope and laid the walls dry, without mortar, so water drains through the joints. Fieldstone steps link the levels, and sedges hold the soil between them.
Plant list
Pennsylvania sedge · wild ginger · ferns · golden alexanders · columbine
