Need advice on what to do with hill in backyard
Comments (3)If you want to replace Juniper with some other conifer the folks on the conifer forum could help you. I liked the height and width of the Junipers. Something similar would be nice. If you feel brave you could cover the slope with burlap and then plant ground cover plugs....See MoreWhat to plant along street against wall with sloped hill?
Comments (14)It's a handsome wall so there's no need to do anything for the passers-by than to keep it neat with a groundcover. But what about the view from inside your house -- or any outside space between the house and wall? Do you want the view unobstructed or would you prefer that to be enclosed as well? If the latter, shouldn't you be thinking of the kind of tall narrow trees that leaf out at the right height? Birch trees come to mind in my zone.....See MoreNeed help with sloped hill in front yard
Comments (11)Tread carefully with what is presently planted. Kinnikinnick (also called bearberry) is very difficult to transplant and your hillside is providing the necessary growing Zone 2-6 acid soil and light conditions for it to thrive.

This healthy hillside planting is an uncommon landscape feature that will only thrive in certain areas.

Comments (17)my apologies ==>> no need to apologize to me ... what is all the dead stuff there ,.... or did it just go summer dormant ... thinking outside the box... you could make a self play bocci court.. lol ... roll the ball up.. and it comes down ... i have a few hills in my yard.. i called it 3D bocci ... must more fun than the flat earth version ... something akin to bocci putting.. lol,.. but i digress ... i would seed in grass in fall ... and make it mowable.. asap ... or whatever might actually be there ... and then over the next decade.. if you are a hardcore gardener.. just start transforming it with shrubs.. conifer ... and gardens ... one section at a time ... to your work tolerance ... you really arent going to do this in one season .. unless you have no real budget constraints to have it professionally installed.. and all the power to you.. if you do ... are hurricane type rains [as compared to the storm itself] possible in your area of GA?? ... if so...stabilization is imperative ... as your new house is at the bottom of the hill... and that little gully in the lawn isnt going to do much for a land slide .... dont get all wound up about such.. but make sure its part of your future plans ... i wish you luck ... this MI boy isnt gong to offer any specific plant suggestions for GA ... and i wonder about some of the specific suggestions above .... take any given suggestions to a local nursery ....not bigbox.. and ask if they sell such.. if they dont.. its a good clue it might not work for you ... good luck ken...See Moreianna
