What do people do with the back of the residental service area? I was thinking about raising cliffs behind it and maybe add some waterfalls but I'm not sure. I need some inspiration

Shh... don't wake the sleeping hedgie
I literally just planted a row of cherry trees (my native fruit) behind it lol, as a sort of homage to my island’s flora 
It was a simple touch, but it adds some nice colour as you run by.
On other islands I’ve seen raised cliffs, but there have been surprisingly far and few between...

This seems to be the solution for a lot of people for a lot of areas. I don’t suggest just adding waterfalls. Give it some time and I’m sure you’ll think of something creative. You don’t have to do anything with it right away. However, you could always put a waterfall there to see if you really do like it and if you do, then keep it. If not, tear it down.
This is what I did with mine!
The right side has no waterfalls or anything but instead there is a space between the plaza and the cliff where I put a bench, a log stool, and some other bushes. The second and third layer have pine trees and bushes lining all the way around. I think it looks very nice because there are waterfalls, but they're not super over the top if that makes sense! Of course there is also nothing wrong with lots of waterfalls too if that's your thing!
I hope this helps. c:

This is done well. Great job!
I fenced the back of mine for now, but there's only about four tiles between it and the river so I don't have a whole lot of room. Thought about just doing one row of cliffs and planting purple hyacinths all along them. (They look like lilacs and my town is Lilac Bay)

That looks so good! Is it just for aesthetics or is there a way to get up to those cliffs?

I was planning on make a star gazing area too! The problem is that I would like the star gazing area to be near the museum so I think putting it near the residental services would make it too crowded.
Design is subjective. If you like what you've done, then that's all that matters!
With that said, here's what's behind mine:
But now that I think about it, the chess board might look better in front of RS.

I'm planning to put cliffs behind mine, but no waterfalls. I'm trying to figure out a good ratio of cliff to regular land because I love fishing and don't want a tiny river for normal river fish. It is proving to be challenging. I'm once again flattening my land and trying again.
Ok I just have Nooks and Able's right behind mine but now I want to move them and be heckin stylish like you, good grief!!

I did a stepping stone path with some trees since my river runs horizontally across the island and merges towards 2 south exits c:
I also have two south exits! I'm having hard time with the rivers. Can I see a picture of your map? I'm curious about the shape of your river

That's super creative! Is that your house or a villager house on that hill behind it?
