landscaping a steep hill ideas
12 years ago
Hi,
I'm trying to get some ideas for ground covering and planting on a steep hill that is the focal point scenery for my outside entertainment area. I live in the oakland hills in California (pretty moderate temps year round) and the hill is exposed to direct sunlight. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
