Here in the mountains of Western North Carolina, we know a thing or two about sloping yards. Some people think a yard that slopes is difficult to work with, but we happen to believe that it provides an amazing opportunity for beautiful, innovative landscaping! Whether you have a gentle slope or are perched on the side of a mountain, we have some great ideas for creating a landscape you’ll love.

Terracing

Slopes are just right for terraces. You can create different zones on each terrace — an outdoor kitchen, a play area for the kids, or a pergola with seating underneath for relaxing.

 

Water Features

Sloping yards are made for waterfalls. Add rockwork, and plant ferns and other moisture-loving foliage — don’t forget a small pond at the bottom.

 

Patios

Pavers, concrete, brick, or flagstone all make beautiful patios. Install one at the top of your yard, overlooking a garden or play area, or install several at different levels with seating, a grill or stove, and lighting for the ultimate in entertaining family and friends.

 

 

Retaining Walls

You can keep your slopes from eroding AND add to the beauty of your landscape. Use brick, stone, or even painted concrete for retaining walls, and add plants to make them pop.

 

Accent Lighting

Well-placed lights will not only look lovely at night; they’ll keep you and your guests from stumbling around in the dark.
