First, you have to decide where you want to put your steps. I like the garden block steps, but there are many ways to do steps in a slope.

Like your photo. Just one suggestion, make sure you continue the blocks around the sides of each step or the gravel will wash out the sides in a heavy rain. I am doing this around the base of each deck post to keep soil from washing out and making the deck unstable. then I plan to plant in the raised area to help hold the soil in.
Hello Karen,
There are some interesting and attractive ways to tier off a slope. I personally find browsing the Houzz or Pinterest web sites to have some awesome visuals to consider in aspects landscape design ideas addressing specific concerns.
