How to Landscape a steep slope without Retaining walls

What happens here

Before any major earthmoving can begin, a temporary access road needs to be established to allow heavy machinery, such as an excavator and skid steers, to reach the lower portions of the sloped site. This involves clearing a path and potentially reinforcing it to support the weight of the equipment. Following the road construction, an orange Daewoo 75V excavator equipped with a hydraulic thumb attachment is used to methodically clear dense brush, small trees, and existing debris (like old logs) from the sloped area. This preparation creates a clean slate for the subsequent grading work.

Goal: Prepare the site by establishing access for machinery and clearing vegetation.

Tools and materials

  • Daewoo 75V Excavator Daewoo — Clearing brush, trees, and debris; initial earthmoving
  • Hydraulic Thumb Attachment — Grabbing and manipulating logs and debris
  • Logs and Brush N/A — Material removed from the site
