Working with Hills in North Georgia Landscapes

Front Door Landscape DesignHere in Marietta, GA and further north to our neighbors in Canton and Woodstock, many people have landscapes with hilly front or backyards which make it difficult to design a landscape that is going to be both beautiful and functional. But, C&M Residential has 40+ years of experience creating beautiful and functional yards with whatever the lay of the land is. Here are a few suggestions on ways to get around your hills and make them work for you.

Stacked Stone Walls

Instead of creating a raised wooden deck, a great alternative is a patio of pavers with stacked stone walls. This creates the visual barrier of a patio, but incorporates the design to blend into the lay of the land.

Terracing the Landscape

Instead of having to build a sloped walkway, a great way to get up and down the hills in your yard is to create a terrace. The walkway with steps allows you to get up and down your hill in a comfortable way.

Raised Beds

Rather than trying to create a flower bed on a slope where the top soil, mulch, and delicate annuals will have a hard time thriving, create a raised flower bed with stone walls. This way, you’ll end up with a flat area to plant in without having to grade into your hills.

Do you have a difficult landscape that you’re wanting to improve and make more usable for you and your family? C&M Residential can help you come up with solutions that fit into your budget.
