It is possible, but it is far more complex and expensive than you think.
For example, a 6 foot slope over 75 feet, you want to level the garden the rear of the house. YOu have to remove 40 tons of soil- that means very large lorry access.
You expose the foundations of the back of your house wich then might decide to slide down the hill, so that neds to be piled. Drains and soakaways get exposed, You will need very strong retaining walls to hold back 6 feet of neigbours gardens on both sides and stop their houses sliding down into your garden. Your garden would qucikly become a lake because al the gardens from next door would drain into it.
Leveling out by extracting garden is a No No.
A 6ft drop in 75 feet? that not exactly steep is it, and perefectly liveable with as your neigbours have showed. A great chance to terrace your garden and make features of it.
