Sloping gardens can seem like challenging places to design at first glance, but this doesn’t have to be the case!
Using a selection of innovative and creative design techniques, sloping sections of your garden can be transformed into functional and beautiful outdoor spaces. Whether your garden contains a steep hillside or a gentle slope, there are many different methods that you can use to adapt these areas. Using an assortment of hard landscaping features such as retaining walls, sunken steps and more, let’s explore how our skilled in-house landscaping team could transform your sloping garden into a striking garden design.
Retaining walls
Retaining walls are a great way to add levels and structure to your garden. Fabulous for building on top of steep spaces and slopes, retaining walls can also be used to frame a striking collection of pathways, guiding you both up and down your landscape.
Sunken stairways
Seamlessly embedded into the natural landscape of your garden, sunken stairways are a beautiful way of landscaping around and preserving your garden’s existing structure. Filling your garden with beautifully sculpted spots of visual interest, sunken stairways softly float you down into the garden to explore the landscape that lies beyond.
Water features
Creating a peaceful spot for you to sit back and relax whilst you take in your surroundings, a sloped garden is the perfect environment to install a bespoke water feature. Allowing water to gently trickle down into the crisp pool that sits below, water features are a wonderful way to make the most out of your garden’s natural and sloping composition.
Create a rockery garden
Carefully placing rocks and boulders onto a sloped space is a fantastic way to create a striking rockery garden. Adding a unique focal point to your gardenscape, rockeries are low maintenance and are a fabulous way of adding visual interest to your garden. Containing a series of vibrant blooms such as Sedum and Phlox, rockeries are an easy yet beautiful way to enhance your landscape.
