Steep Front Slope Landscaping
The front yard in the front of my house is painfully steep. We bought the house five years ago and have avoided doing any "major" landscaping to the front without seeking advice (obviously we don't know much about landscaping).
Currently, the steep front yard has a huge limestone placed bed...to say the least it is hideous and has weeds coming through. What we would like to do is remove the rock and landscape the slope using shrubs, trees, flowers, etc.
We don't really want to put in a retaining wall because we fear it would be too massive and not give the house an aesthetic curb appeal (not to mention we do not want to spend 30K on a wall). If anyone has any suggestions about plants, materials, or even a design we would more than appreciate the help. Thanks.
