Stairs in Hill - am I screwed? I’m building these stairs in the front yard. My rise is correct to get me to the front walkway, but I’m getting significantly high walls. I’d prefer not to have a retaining wall on the sides, but think this is too aggressive to just slope the grade. I plan to put planting beds on either side. What should I do?
