Front Deck for a Sloped Yard

A front patio is a convenient place to sit with neighbors while watching your kids play. Unfortunately, a sloped yard can get in the way of those plans. This hillside landscaping idea makes use of a front deck instead. A tiered soil bed provides plenty of planting space, as well as level ground for this tiny deck.

Prairie Garden Hillside Landscaping Idea

This sloped yard has the best of both worlds: prairie plants for pollinators and turf grass for yard games. A retaining wall holds back the hillside, leaving a flat grassy space for bare feet. Wildflowers and longer grass give the remaining hillside a natural feel. The retaining wall is an ideal spot for decorative planters.
