Terrace and appreciate the hell out of the fact you’ll never have water in the basement

I have a yard almost exactly like this though grade is less steep. I plan to terrace, half moon terrace for the fire pit, green house in the corner, and a flat part under the deck for additional patio

Nah, YouTube, rent a skid steer. Be super cognizant of drainage and backfill and probably under 10k. I plan to buy a kit greenhouse though.
