How Do You Landscape A Slope With Rocks?
Rocky slopes challenge even experienced gardeners. Consider this potential roadblock an opportunity. Changes in terrain make natural focal points. Rocks on a slope can be used as terraces, plant nooks or cascade walls. Large anchor rocks can be placed at the base of the hill to tie in the slope with the rest of the garden. Many high-end garden landscape professionals actually build up flat land gardens in order to create variety and interest. Embrace the slope and enhance your garden and home. Walk up your slope. Pull out any existing weeds from the root and dispose of them carefully, as any seeds discarded on the ground can sprout. Rake smooth the soil, removing or saving smaller rocks. Cut back any tree branches that might limit sun or air circulation Make a sketch of the general layout of your garden. Use a compass and write down the north-south-east-west exposure on your garden sketch. If your slope is north-facing, you’ll choose different plants than if your slope has the full sun
