The hill wraps around the back of our neighborhood and was simply covered with pine straw as "landscaping". I'm not a fan of the pine straw and would need to spend $400-$500 each a couple times of year to replenish it. I was considering Green Giant trees (maybe 10-15?) but I'm concerned they will not do well on the hill -it's dry soil and exposed to 8+ hours of direct sunlight. The hill is approximately 110 ft long and 40 ft base to top. I'm in Georgia, I believe zone 8. Any other, cost efficient options? A retaining wall isn't an option due to price and how it would affect the neighbors. A: Typically you would plant a slope with ground cover plants as they continue to expand, reduce erosion, and smother weeds. I saw Georgia mentioned as your state, so I have included a University extension on ground cover plants of choice in your region, find some of these to plant en masse. In this scenario, you will not want weed fabric as mentioned, since ground covers need to root in the exposed soil. You will likely want to suppress the current weeds you have, and prepare to control weeds while the ground covers take over. You can still add shrubs in the landscape, but without a $10,000 budget, I would focus on ground covers, and then add shrubs for interest with your remaining budget https://extension.uga.edu/content/dam/extension-county-offices/forsyth-county/anr/Groundcovers%20for%20Georgia%20Landscapes.pdf **Q: Backyard design help!** *(in Landscape Design)* Hi there, we had a pool put in last year and we are looking this year to now to complete the backyard. I'm looking for suggestions for fencing, what to do the raised patio you see (the top surface is in disarray), also need an area for shade...and lastly...on the right side of the pool,,,,its a bit of an issue as the concrete is pretty narrow for chairs etc....so looking for ideas on that. Thanks in advance! A: Like i was saying regarding the patio, you can build a deck over it with sleeper joists, or you can lay flagstone in a bed of mortar. **Q: Curb Appeal help! Paint, Landscaping, etc** *(in Landscape Design)* We recently purchased this home from the 1980s. We’ve spent the last few months renovating inside but have yet to tackle anything on the exterior and would love some ideas! That dark shaded region of the picture is the front porch/door (thankfully it’s not as dark in real life as the pictures make it seem). The home is currently painted an ivory color with dark green trim and we’d love thoughts on a better color scheme (keeping the brick). We will be removing the massive amounts of red rocks in the planter areas but are unsure of what and how much to plant. Also not a fan of the very thick, tall bushes along the curb. Would love to have a little more color and variety in flowers, shrubs, etc. Appreciate any input so much! Thanks in advance! A: The juniper (the large bush at curb) actually looks pretty good, you could remove it, but it seems to create some privacy. As far as the rocks, the problem with decorative rocks... is that they probably cost twice as much to get rid of as they do to have installed. I mean raking at best 85% of those up (you'll have to excavate deep into topsoil to get 99%), and then having them hauled off to a landfill, they weigh about 1,500lbs per half yard.. and you probably have about 3.5 or 4 yards to get rid of. So it'll cost about $300 just in dump fees alone to get rid of it.. Id say work with what you got, you've got gravel, so add some xeriscaping plants? Yucca. and sedum, yarrow and potentilla. lavenders, sage... throw some ornamental grasses in there. **Q: Front of house is boring. I need some inspiration!** *(in Landscape Design)* Hey Everyone! I am looking for some inspiration. The front of our house is looking a little boring to me and I need help coming up with some ideas that would really freshen up the look. I was mostly thinking paint colors and landscape but would be open to design changes. I'm conflicted because I like the brick and don't really want to paint over it but I don't know what colors go well with it. Or maybe I need someone to tell me I do need to paint over the brick... I don't know! I'm not good at seeing things before they are actually there. Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Patrick A: Agree that the brick looks great, the house could be painted a luss dull color though, Perhaps a stately grey, or a colonial white? Maybe even a subtle neutral green. I think the door could be brightened up too, Perhaps paint it to match the shutters, or a bright red or yellow? Landscaping definitely needs improved though. Create some planting strips along the walkway, and either find some lively shade loving perennials or small shrubs. A groundcover of some sort around the trees could be a welcome sight, it looks like the roots may be hard to contend with for anything else. **Q: Karl Foerster Supplier Please** *(in Ornamental Grasses)* Hello, Does anyone have a supplier for Karl Foerster seeds or bare root?? Thanks A: Not sure what state you're in, but look for karl foerster plugs, this place has em for $1 / plug in a 50 plug tray. https://moonshinedesignsnursery.com/product/grass-feather-reed-karl-foerster-liners/ **Q: should I move this struggling juniper?** *(in Not Specified)* I have two blue arrow junipers, planted at the same time. The one in the front yard doesn't get as much light and has a large silver Maple to compete with. The one in the backyard is happy although I planted it too close to the deck. It has grown larger than anticipated but is really beautiful. My husband says to just leave it. I want to move it to the backyard and see if it makes it. A: Id say move the one that is struggling, it will never get enough light where its at. Better to give it a chance than to let it starve. The bigger the root ball you can save, the better your odds --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-04.*
