Hey guys,
Here's a pic of the back of our house:

The estate developer is putting the fences in, and the fence will run along the back at the lower level. I'm just wondering if I'd need to have any kind of engineered retaining wall if I wanted to level it out a bit more? I'd like the backyard (such as it is) just to be level with the bottom of the fence, with the house sitting up on a cliff, pretty much. We would probably have to put it steps/stairs/ramp up to the sides of the house.
The house itself is sitting on concrete piers under the slab. There are about eight of them at the back of the house alone.
Here's a view from the other side:

Otherwise, any other suggestions on how best to use the space would be appreciated! I figured if we wanted to bring the ground up to house level, we'd need really big retaining walls, which would be expensive. Also, we have a 2m easement along the back fence line, which would make things difficult.
