Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comMy new house has a sloping garden. Originally I thought to just lift the grass on the high end and remove some soil to level it, but decided having steps up from the patio would look nicer. Could I just use the ‘sweeping under the carpet’ method by lifting the edge and adding soil? We would build a mini wall (2ft) with approx two steps to separate the grass from patio. My concerns are would I need to protect the wall? Would the soil be stable/do I need sand? Will it cause drainage problems? etc. The patio is already build in so its mainly if the wall/steps would cause issues. Thanks for your help! I’m a complete newbie to gardening.

I don't suspect that leveling the area will cause any problems to the wall. If you are going to use sand, though, I would mix it into a good topsoil. Sand, alone, can cause some issues over time.
Here is an article that will help you to level out this area correctly:
