1. Split Large Hillside Beds in Two
Landscaping on a slope can be one of the most challenging parts of planning out your property. From figuring out how to divert water to preventing soil erosion to thinking up a hillside landscape solution that's maintainable, there are many factors to consider. One of the most effective ways to make future maintenance of a hillside bed manageable is to split the bed in two with a set of stairs or a path that affords access to the middle area. Pro Tip: Always choose low-maintenance plants for hillside beds.
