How to stop a crumbling sloped yard from washing away
In short: Sloped yards often face erosion during rainy weather, leading to soil washing onto sidewalks. This video follows landscape contractor Jenn Nawada and Lee Gilliam as they transform an over-mulched, neglected slope into a stable, planted landscape.
The project begins by addressing the issue of excess mulch, which Lee Gilliam and Jenn Nawada rake into piles for recycling. To stabilize the ground, they use shovels to dig and plant ground cover alongside other selected vegetation.
To achieve a more natural aesthetic, Lee suggests a planting technique of grouping plants in threes. This approach helps manage the challenges of a yard that has been going downhill.
