Landscaping On a Slope - Landscaping Picture by: Maria
I have a very steep hill beside my garage. It has plagued me for five years. I am wondering if you had a larger picture of the one at the top of your web page. It looks like it could be perfect for me.
ANSWER
Hi Maria, I'm not sure which photo you are referring too? Is it the one with the purple perennials lining the driveway? Is it the one on my other site NJ Landscaping site? Or another? Thanks.

Hi Susan, The web page is titled Landscape Design Advice. It is also the same picture at the top of SusanSchlenger.com. It looks like I want to go there...peaceful..colorful...I can't tell what is planted on it..but I definitely see yellow and purple and what looks like maybe a rock. Look forward to hearing from you, Maria
ANSWER
Hi Maria, Now I know which picture you were referring to. Follow the above link and click on the second project down.then click on any landscaping photo to enlarge. This project had a slope next to the driveway and extended along the street. I created an entire perennial garden. I used Butterfly Bush, Day Lily, Fountain Grass, Ornamental Grass, Black-Eyed Susan, etc. We also used boulders.

Dear Susan, Thank you so much. I am going to try and duplicate what you did. My bank is just as steep as your project, and all those plantings work well around here already. So, If that's ok with you..I will credit the design to you. Maria
ANSWER
Thanks. Good luck with your project. There are a few concepts to follow. 1. Plant in masses...at least 3 (more is better) of one variety. 2. Have plants next to each other be different textures/leave types. 3. Place taller plants here and there for height interest. All one height gets boring.

Dear Susan, I will send you a picture when I am finished. Today I bartered with a landscape fellow for 3 boulders. I am so excited. Can't wait. Thanks so much for your input. You are a doll. Maria
