Susan, I'm sending a photo this week. I should have done that to start with.

Retaining Walls and Plantings by: Susan
Hi Chase,
I appreciate your feedback, but it's difficult for me to get a true picture of what's going on.
The way I am understanding it, is that there is a 4 feet wide bed from the porch edge outwards to the bottom of the steps. Then there is another 7 foot deep planting bed or slope?
If you can explain it further it would be helpful. If not, send me a photo or two via my Contact Page.

How high the slope? by: Sandra Buchan
Hi Susan,
I don't know how to figure grades, But, the beds are seven feet wide (back to front), built up approximately 4.0 ft. from the ground in the back beside the porch, and then slope down to ground level from back to front. Each bed is about 10 ft long on each side of the front steps. the seven front steps are about 10 inches deep with a 6 inch rise. In the back of the beds there is approximately 4.0 to 4.5 ft of space from the planting area to the edge of the porch. No deer. Just a cat.
Thanks, Chase
