Gotcha.
Guess it's just that I don't like man-made changes in the grade, unless they are made to look natural.
Also, you'll have to stabilize the slopes with ground cover or turf....turf making the most sense. Not a big deal but now you have a slope to mow. Which might actually be fun for us car guys...lol....
So the slope would have to be a gentle one, in theory.
Lastly the objective of getting a desired result "quicker" sometimes has a downside. But people being people.....you have to deal with the "I want it now" mentality.
Admittedly, I'm a little anal about planting for the future and letting things develop over time. Realistically time goes by pretty fast anyway, but like I said.....being patient isn't what we usually run into with many clients.....
