This first picture is from a hillside landscaping project I did in my own back yard a couple of years ago.  We used 6″ x 8″ timbers for the stairs.  It sure makes it easier to get from the lower level up to the middle level and back down again.

Here are some more pictures of the same hillside and things we’ve done with it.

A small side path/stairs. A work in progress to be sure.

And another view at a different time of year.

A nice place to rest. Meditation chair. Solid oak old school chair.
