My huge deck needs to be replaced. Can I landscape instead?

I have a deck that starts at ground level and at the far end is almost 5 feet off the ground as my yard slopes down. It’s 20 feet wide by 33 feet long.

If I just tear the deck out completely, there will be a huge low point ranging from 6 inches to several feet below the ground as it extends from my house.

I’m getting different quotes but rebuilding this deck is going to cost something probably between 30 and $40,000 if I really do things correctly. That’s a tough pill for me to swallow.

I’m trying to brainstorm other options. Obviously I’d have to fill in the area with some kind of dirt and grass. But I’m wondering what else I could do. Maybe there’s a way I can take advantage of the existing downward slope? But then it wouldn’t be level with the two lawns that are on either side of the deck.

Ideas appreciated! I live in the Seattle area. Stuff is pretty expensive here.

NH Rep says it's "very tempting to run bicycles off the road" while arguing against a Bill to set lower speed limits

NH Bike-Walk Alliance article

"During the New Hampshire House of Representatives session on April 23, 2026, the chair of the House Transportation Committee said on the House floor, “It is against the law to run over pedestrians. It’s against the law to run bicycles off the road even though it’s sometimes very tempting.”

He was arguing against SB559, a bill that would have allowed municipalities to set lower speed limits where a traffic or engineering study supported them."

If you know this intersection on Main St you’d know it’s got to be difficult to get your car on the roof here.

As a new coffee shop opens in penacook it’s giving city leaders and residents a moment and space to reflect on what a vibrant little village Penacook is starting to become again. From the new businesses like this coffee shop and the ice cream shop that opened last summer paired with a new park to enjoy these little staples of enjoyment Penacook is really transforming into a cool little village on the northern edge of the city to live and enjoy.
