This is a landscape garden design and sod installation work by Long Island Landscape contractor "New York Plantings Garden Designers and Landscape contracting". One common fix for a steep slope or grade is to build stone retaining wall, staple the sod so it will establish easily. Laying Sod on a hill we should always mulch around surface rooting trees.

Instead of gutters the house uses rain handlers, a system designed by engineers at MIT to disperse water away from house and prevent soil erosion.

The first year planted a small Rainier Cherry Tree and a series of small perennials. Planted several sedums and creeping phlox to cover the hill, with a few small shrubs - gold flame spirea. No need for a small retaining wall, just taper the soil and plant and mulch to avoid erosion for the first few years.
