Hill Landscaping
 While most parts of the Houston landscape are remarkably flat, properties that border Buffalo Bayou and its tributaries often have a hilly terrain. With some basic hill landscaping ideas, and the help of Exterior Worlds, you can watch these areas can be transformed into some of the most attractive features of your yard that your children, family members, and guests will immediately be drawn toward.
The slope of the terrain often plays a key determining role in the viability of any given hill landscaping idea. Aesthetic interests have to be balanced with the practical need to prevent soil erosion.
Gentle slopes are usually used to expand the sense of space.
Steeper slopes require special development and normally wind up creating keynote points of interest in addition to playing very critical functional roles in soil retention.
For a very gradual and gentle slope, elaborate drainage systems and soil retention methods may not be necessary.
Something as simple as turf or even ground cover over the ground, can often protect a hill’s shape with a very subtle softscape design that compliments surrounding gardens and lawns. |
