However that is good to know and I would suspect it would be more as the land kind of slopes towards the rear of where the garage would end. I know it is hard to tell from this picture but I would assume a lot could be made up with concrete or would you back fill with dirt?
I would prefer a raised wall rather than fill. Fill might look a bit funny as you cant just fill directle under the structure.....you we need to spread it out wider, this all being done with a truck to haul in material and a back ho to spread and compact with a wheel would be more expensive than a raised wall.
