Slope lot front to back
I'm working on a Ranch with a walkout basement. How do you slop the landscape so that both the front of the house and the lower level patio door are both at ground level? Thanks

Insert a very large triangle...?

Yes, one very large or several (triangles and boxes), placed around the house (to avoid having the triangle in your basement).

ok

Re: Slope lot front to back
I appreciate the help but could one of you give me a little more detail on what you mean by large triangle? Around the house? Next to the house? Main level or lower level? direction of the triangle? etc... I've never gone this far in developing a plan so I need more details on how to do this. Thanks again for the help.

Re: Slope lot front to back
I sent you an example. Didn't you get it? If you look at that model, it contains a base-level. I placed two triangles, one on each side of the house and a box behind to create the slope. But you can obviously elaborate on that example - and stretch and resize to your liking.

ok

ooh, I may be blend but I don't see the example. That would certainly help. Could you email it to me at [email protected]? Thanks for your help

Sent you two. Let me know if you don't receive it. I would usually do a more accurate terrain, but the two examples show what you can do with triangles and boxes. Good luck.

ok
