Parking pad on a slope -- on a budget

Econes,
I think my parking area may be similar to what you are describing.
Mine is filled with 3/4" crushed gravel.
I just spread and raked thin layers and compacted by hand with a tamper.
It has worked out pretty well for me.
That looks really nice and it appears it's about as deep as mine would need to be. I hadn't considered wood for the sides, but I see this was put in in 2007. Is the wood holding up for you?
2007! Time flys!:E :)
Wood has held up pretty well.
The vert posts were 8'PT cut in half & set in about 2' deep hole with quickrete.
That area of my backyard can get pretty wet in the spring, so with the winters we've had, they've seen some heaving. But I just use the tamper and bang em back level in the spring.
My intention was to eventually fill-in sloping the lawn up to the top of border, but other projects get in the way - as you can see, time flys!
