It can be quite challenging to come up with the perfect garden design, especially if your plot is steep. You can still have a lot of fun and experiment creating a landscaping scheme on a hillside but be prepared for some added work!
A couple of great tips on gardening on a slope are to plant trees and shrubs. Their root system will slow water runoff, especially during heavy rainstorms, and anchor the soil. Tall perennial grasses also work well on hills and require no maintenance. If you like the natural look, sow wildflower seed over the area, which will look beautiful and keep the topsoil from eroding or washing away. Wildflower seeds are readily available in bulk at large garden centers and nurseries. For every square foot you need approximately fifty seeds. If you have a small area to seed, buy a small can, but for large areas, wildflower seeds are available in bulk. Make sure that whatever you plant requires no regular maintenance if it is a steep hill.

There are many ways to have this system in place. You can go for terracing which is ideal for very steep hills or heavily mulching the plant beds can work just as well as long as the hills is not that steep. And finally, of course, you have to create a landscape that would reflect your style and personality. After all, that’s what landscapes do – they offer a glimpse of the homeowner’s style and tastes.
