Default need help for a sloping garden

pleb writes
Hey greenfingers

I have quite a large garden ... which sounds nice ... but it is all on a
slope. The slop varies between 30 - 45 degrees in places :-(

I am trying to sell my house .. but all of the viewers are saying "The
garden is an off put". I have put some photos of the garden he

or

The photo doesnt show how steep and slopey the garden is, but it is.

I know most people say Terrace - but this would still be a big job. Planners
have declined permission to build on it aswell.

Any further idea?? No matter how extreme?

I suspect they are using this as an excuse for some other reason that
they are not tempted. Talk to the valuer from the estate agent and see
if there is anything else that might be putting them off.

From the photograph, it looks uninteresting, just a difficult-to-mow
piece of grass - buy in some bedding plants, keep changing them so you
always have a good display. Draw people's attention away from the slope
by giveing them something else to look at.
