While slopes, especially steep slopes, can be challenging, they also make gardens more interesting because they often force people to create spaces whereas flat or almost flat gardens can be boring without creativity and planning.

So excited for this one! My property is about a third of an acre of slope. I love it and it's so unique but definitely a challenge to design for, so this one is for me!!!

Oh wow! This is awesome! I have 3acres of steep slopes on 3 levels and it’s literally all grass with a few trees. I really wanna transition to planting food, trees, flowers, privacy fence, etc. Only thing I’ve considered so far is the dirt locker system but I’m really looking forward to this video series to explore what else is possible.

For a steep portion of my side yard I took the easy path. (1) Landscape blocks to create a wall. (2) Composted top soil to fill in behind the wall. (3) Mondo grass for appearance and to hold the soil in place. (4) Vines on the wall to add more green. The goal was to create something low maintenance. The Mondo grass, for instance, takes over and needs almost no weeding once established.

Thank you, Eve, so much for your videos! I'm new to your channel and have been watching and absorbing in preparation for a (hoped for) new home and garden canvas in the near future. I have two questions: 1. Would it be appropriate to take your Design Your Own Landscape online course if I don't yet know what the property will look like? I'm keen to learn how to do the sketch to scale. Could I just use a pretend shape to learn the skills and then reapply them for real when we find our new house? 2. This question is about verticillium wilt. I have an established garden of 25+ years, designed and installed by me with no machinery. With the exception of having help to move 400# Japanese maples into the holes that I dug, mine is a one woman-one shovel garden. I'd like to take several plants to my eventual new home, BUT I learned that my JMaples have been infected with verticillium wilt. My local Cooperative Extension has not responded to my email, so I'd be grateful for your advice on how to manage, prevent, avoid, etc. in my future garden. If it's more appropriate to purchase online consult time with you about this, I'm happy to do so! Thank you for considering my questions.

Rewatching this… I guess I already have “near level space’ on each of my 3 slopes over 3 acres but really need to know what to do with the steep parts. Erosion is happening. I do not want retaining walls -prefer plants/trees. But I live in the country with LOTS of wildlife- lots of deer, rabbits, squirrels, some voles making tunnels in the ground in places. It can be overwhelming to figure out what will actually work for growing plants/trees given all the wildlife. Anyways, looking forward to the series. I’m in GA zone 8b.

Excellent! Our neighborhood is on a ridge, so all the lots are sloped. We have no retaining walls and after looking critically at all the terracing and retaining people have done around us, we won't be investing in them. I much prefer flat areas connected by steps on slopes.
