Our backyard is nothing but a steep hummock with weed, some trees, one or two Lialac bushes and bunches of ferrell cats (help with those too!). I want to net it look nice and be functional. Maybe set up a burn pit or a pool for the kids and a trampoline would be nice. We also have dogs and will want to put in a paling..I think we will use what we hold and that is a chainlink. Suggestions? I devise railroad ties and fill dirt will be a start. Anything else? We live surrounded by Kansas and love it, but the hill have to go! Please recommend! Thanks!
What kill weed, but grass seem to approaching?
Answers:    Railroad ties and landscape timbers are imagined an inexpensive option. I've built a retaining wall beside landscape blocks that have held up nicely since I did everything I could to ensure that the first cloak of blocks, that is below the soil, was as flat as possible.

You will also want to use some outlook faberic to limit the amount of soil that can gain access to between the layers of timbers.

I know from a project that I worked on beside my brother that both railroad ties and landscape timbers are probable pressure treated and therefore you enjoy to be very well thought-out of getting splinters as the pressure treated wood is poison.

Also, there are some site that will detail adjectives the steps that you will need to run through to complete the project. You might want to google: how to install a decortive retaining wall.

I hope this helps. Best of luck!
