What you need to know about sloping blocks

You’ve found the perfect block of land, but it’s a sloping site, and you are worried about the challenges it may pose.

Live Green Homes is an experienced sloping block builder for the Greater Geelong, Bellarine and Surf Coast regions.

With innovative designs and a creative problem-solving team, Live Green Homes can build your dream home on a sloping block.

Reverse living is a great option for a sloping block with the main living spaces upstairs.

These designs take full advantage of your surrounding views and environment and are very well suited to the beautiful coastline of the Bellarine, Surf Coast and the rolling hills of Highton and Fyansford.

Having your main living space upstairs means your family gets beautiful views throughout the day, seeing the landscape from the best possible vantage point.

As passive home builders, Live Green Homes are passionate about using the natural environment to create beautiful, energy-efficient custom homes.

Live Green Homes make the most of your sloping block using natural light, heating your home all year round.

A sloping block also provides unique home design opportunities and allows you to plan your living spaces creatively.

From split-level designs to open-plan living spaces that showcase your views – Live Green Homes will personalise your home to suit your lifestyle.

Things to consider before purchasing a sloping block

The direction of your slope – some blocks slope upwards while others slope downwards, and others towards one side of the block.

It’s important to note that an upslope is typically more expensive than a downslope as it requires more cut and fill (and retaining walls).

The gradient of your sloping block will affect your custom home design.

Generally, a slope of more than 2m requires more skill to design and build, increasing the build cost.
