ᐅ How to Stabilize a Slope and Create an Affordable Garden Path?

Hello,
In the picture, you can see on the right the batter boards for our hillside precast garage, at the back the earth retaining wall to be constructed, and on the left the house wall, where the main entrance is located further ahead (not visible in the photo). Backfill is still needed behind the house, so something must be installed there to prevent the fill material from spilling out at the side. Additionally, the earth retaining wall needs to be supported, and a stairway leading to the garden (approximately 2.3m (7.5 feet), I estimate) must be built there.

How would you suggest solving this in an attractive (and cost-effective) way?

It will balance out well by adding fill so you can access the garden without steps. Although it can be deceptive at times. For example, we find our driveway looks quite flat, but it was actually about 1.2 m (4 feet) or 1.3 m (4 feet 3 inches) near the garage.
Does the tree still belong to you?

Yes, the tree is still ours. The garden extends quite a bit further up the hill. I need to find the plan soon. We probably also need to level another terrace higher up to create more usable space.

Having a slight slope might actually be beneficial. For sledding, a slide, etc.
I wouldn’t level everything completely.

Hopefully, the temporary solution won’t need to last too long
