  • How to level sloped garden?

    What is actually involved in this work? It currently slopes down and away from the house and seems to only get worse. One of the guys we had In to fix our fencing a while back mentioned that the ground by us is a bit swampy. So if I fix this, will I have to do it all again in a few years? And is this something I can do by myself? And is it something gradual or is done all at once? Would be good to have it sorted before Summer kicks in
