When planting on a hillside, it’s important to choose plants with deep and/or dense root systems that help anchor the soil and reduce erosion.
Keep in mind that every slope is different, with varying soil conditions, light exposure, moisture levels, and degrees of steepness.
If you’re unsure which plants are best suited for your site, we recommend conducting additional research or consulting with a professional.
