Port Orchard, WA: Raised Beds That Step Down a Slope

To keep a lawn for their kids while adding a productive vegetable garden, Kirk and Teri Doughty worked with landscaper David Tubberville to create a series of raised beds that terrace down the slope. All beds are built from pressure‑treated 4×6 timbers, secured with rebar pounded through ½‑inch holes drilled in the ends. Posts support overhead trellises for future grapes and kiwis; in summer, twine between posts supports pole beans and other vining crops.
