Terraced hillside landscaping
Terracing sloped yards offers opportunities for improved aesthetics, as well as space for outdoor living and garden additions.
Hillside hardscaping
Custom stairs and paving-stone-lined pathways built into your hillside, accented with decorative rocks and boulders or a tumbling waterfall centerpiece, enhance ambiance, accessibility, and erosion control.
Erosion control landscaping designs
Our horticultural experts know the best plants for hillside landscaping erosion control, including waterwise, low-maintenance alternatives to grass, such as deep-rooting ornamental grasses and creeping groundcover. We can help you achieve any look, crafting a custom landscape design that evokes a tropical, Mediterranean, or English cottage garden appeal.
Custom irrigation for sloped yards
Targeted irrigation, such as drip systems, prevents runoff while keeping greenery lush and healthy.
