layering the lawn into long curving steps

[Trillipse]

layering gardens in steps - my lawn out the back is fairly bigish but a real sod (no pun intended) to mow, and i'm no great mowing fan in the first place... have thought about layering the slopy bit down with stakes and stuff - difficult?

You can do it though it is jolly hard work moving all those turves & soil.
However if you do decide to go ahead, make sure that the pieces of lawn you have left to mow are not fiddly - they must be wide enough for you to mow & turn without tearing your hair out. I would say 6ft wide will be the absolute minimum.
Also before you start think about how you are going to get the mower from one level to the next.
