I am looking suggestions for redesigning my back yard area.
The primary issue is the metal, spiral stairs that stop on an uneven rock base and then a drop-down ledge followed by rocks for steps at the garden.
Issues are safety, access as we age, pets must use this to get to the yard and with rain/snow it increases the problem.
I want to maintain a garden in some form but would enjoy going to raised beds.
I have considered extending the fence and moving the garden along the wall where wagon wheel is located.
If feasible I would like to remove the rock entirely but cannot get a good image of what to do with the area. Another possibility would be stairs from each of the two decks with a landing in the middle giving straight stirs, a slower drop and a surface with better traction.
Bottom line. I want to change the area but cannot come up with a good idea of what to do with it and am open to any suggestions. Cost is always a consideration, but I am willing to make an investment in improving this area.
Hopefully this group has some imaginative ideas and suggestions. Thank you.
