Here are the best and most creative steep hill landscaping ideas for your yard. They are low maintenance easy to set up and do not cost that much.
But once in a while, a little maintenance is required to keep the design fresh month after month.
For example, removing the weeds, and cutting the grass. You can add mulch to the area to reduce the dirt or add pebbles or stones so that the work will be less when cleaning.
So now from the below ideas choose the one you like the most and start designing your hillside area. Let’s go.
1. Decorate with Large Rocks
Place those large rocks beside your steep hill to build this design. Then set up a walkway in front of it with bricks. The design is low maintenance and easy to set up.
2. Build Garden Walls
Like a privacy fence build a privacy screen in each of your steps. So that it looks like they are hiding something and also improve your curb appeal in the area.
3. Set Up a Sitting Area
Set up a wooden sitting area to enjoy the view. Many people crave that kind of view. If you have the option why don’t you enjoy it?
Build a sitting area made of wood or concrete on the hillside and enjoy.
4. Build a Steep Hill Wall
I love this design and the way the wall is built. It looks like a walkway. You can do the same. Hire someone to build this design for you.
5. Edge Your Steps
You can edge your steps with either concrete or bricks or with flowers. The ideas are the same. I think brick edging will be the best.
6. Build a Flower Bed
On every step plant flowers and build a garden bed. When they grow up, they will cover the area and will look awesome.
But maintenance is crucial to make the flower bloom faster. You must care for them or they will die soon.
7. Plant Flowers along the Way
Plant colorful flowers along the walkway and let them bloom. They will make the design complete. Here no maintenance is required. Just plant them.
8. Build a Large Garden Bed
Large garden beds are common on steep hills. Plant flowers, shrubs, and big trees to give it a forest-like look. When they grow up will cover the area.
9. Plant Shrubs as Edging
Plant shrubs in the walkway as decoration. You can also plant arborviates along the way. Both work the same.
But make sure the plants remain clean and water them regularly so they grow faster and add greenery month after month.
10. Build it with Bricks
Build the steep hill with concrete and bricks. Add bricks first and then lay concrete over it. You can also hire someone to do it for you. Just make sure they remain clean and shiny.
Last Words
So these are the best steep hill landscaping ideas for you to try. Choose the one you like the most, not the one that seems good.
As you never know what the future will bring. Check the maintenance part before you choose one. Okay! I wish you the best of luck. Take care.
