Problem

Sloping ground often lacks any flat surface fit for building, sitting, or planting, and an untouched slope tends to slide away once the rains come. Left alone, a hillside stays either unusable or unstable.

Solution

Terrace sloping ground gently into level steps, so usable flat surfaces appear for buildings, paths, and planting, while the slope itself is held firm against erosion.
