If you’re challenged with landscaping a steep slope or hillside, this set of videos will help you expand your options in a few directions. While most of the landscape designs on a slope, hill,  or  steep grade are generally addressed with terracing, retaining walls, plants, and ground cover, some may also need to consider an element of functionality.

Access or entry is one functional element on a hillside or sloped landscape that may need consideration. There is often a need for stairs, walkways, or even driveways. See landscaping a steep slope for specific details on these types of projects. While access or entry is usually a necessary function,  non-necessary elements such as a deck or patio can possibly be used to address a hill, steep slope, or grade.

A few of the videos featured in this list are from Paul Nordmark who is an artist of landscaping on steep hillsides. See his site at hillside landscaping to get ideas, buy his videos, or possibly even hire him to landscape your difficult grade.
