Hello There,<br><br>In our backyard lawn, we have a hill that has an incline between 35 and 45 degrees. The dimensions are about 100 feet wide by 50 feet long. It is difficult to mow and not very desirable if we ever decide to sell our home. <br><br>I wanted to ask if there is any information or ideas about landscaping a hill like this. Any information you might provide is appreciated. Thank you. Bill B. <br>

The best thing you can do besides re-leveling is to terrace it off. Have a walkway/steps that meander up the hillside with terracing on both sides. Also I have seen manmade creeks that are fed by pumps and underground piping that can have a waterfall. Use ground cover a much as possible that require very little maintenance.A weedeater can be used for trimming between plantings.Depending on how much soil you'll be retaining, use rr crossties.
