How hard is it to rent some sort of bobcat or whatever and dig out a sloped
yard to add terracing bricks and make flat spots separated by a wall or two?

Good day Jeffc,
Is it hard... um, no. Is it hard work... um, yes! I would not suggest that
this is work that you should take on yourself. Using a Bobcat on a slope
is not an easy task to master. Flipping the machine is a real outcome.

As stated before by Stubby, it's very likly that you will need to have the
wall inspected. Depending on where you live, you may need footers for
your walls. The walls will have to have the proper amount of drainage
behind them.

Depending on the size of your job, this could cost $5,000 at the least. I
would suggest that you have a hardscaping company come and look at what
you have. Generaly a free bid from a few companies will clue you into the
amount of work your looking at.

Good luck,
Timothy
