Draw out your hill figure on paper and draw a grid over the top of it.

Peg out your land into squares and using sand, transfer the drawing on paper to sand sprinkled on the ground. Get digging, pack with chalk, sit back, light yer pipe and admire yer handiwork.

The bit im worried about is the angle of the hill. That is the tricky bit im thinking.

If you draw it out on a large piece of paper (in the manner Jane suggested), you could try putting the paper on a bit of card, resting it at the appropriate angle, then viewing from a distance to see if the perspective still looked OK... I suppose the position it is to be viewed from needs to be taken into account too.
