Category: Business

Planting on slopes and hillsides can be a challenge for any one. The trial and error of quickly planting some fast growing vines only to have them washed downhill with heavy rainfall the following week. Because your first efforts didn't pay off, you put off replanting and weeds begin to grow and grow. The area becomes a terrible version of itself complete with erosion. But, there is good news! You can successfully plant on slopes and hillsides where they become an attractive part of the landscape. Selecting the right plants for the job, taking time to plant them properly, watering until they establish an extended root system and a little patience can produce a stunning sloped landscape. Many different plants will perform beautifully on hillsides. Select plants and combinations that are an extension of your landscape and gardens. Low growing ground hugging plants work nicely with taller woody perennials, ornamental grasses, and low growing shrubs.
