Terracing Steep Grades, Hills, and Slopes
Landscaping ideas for steep grades, terraces, slopes, and hills are designed to address erosion control while adding beauty, functionality, or both to the landscape. And generally this is accomplished with retaining walls, decorative boulders, ground covers, and plants.
