My wife and I find ourselves in need of a contractor, of sorts.
Trouble, is, we're not quite sure of what sort we need to do the job
we have in mind - we were hoping one of you might have an idea of the
appropriate kind of professional, and perhaps even a name or two of a
reputable person in that field. Here's our situation:
We're fortunate enough to have a relatively large backyard, by
downtown Boulder standards :) Unfortunately, most of it is unusable,
at the moment :( It slopes down from the back of the house at a rather
steep grade - we characterize it as "Arapahoe Basin blue slope" -
standing on it, it feels about like west wall at A-basin. Anyway,
after about 25 feet of slope, it levels out for about 20 feet, then
resumes its downward course for another 20 feet or so.
We'd really like to gain access to the level portion - maybe plant a
few fruit trees, or a garden. Unfortunately, its such a mad scramble
to get down there at the moment you have to basically go up and down
on all fours (or head over heels, but thats no fun - too many rocks
and cacti). To that end, we'd like to call in a ??? professional
person, to help us figure out a way to get down there on a regular
basis - perhaps by building a set of stairs down the hill, or cutting
steps into the hillside, or ???
So, what we need is a (landscaper ? Deck Builder to build stairs down
? Terraformer to reshape the hillside ? Scotty to build us a local
transporter device ?) Any and all suggestions would be welcome, as
would recommendations for reputable contractors in the Boulder area.
Thanks.
-Nick & Dawn
