Question: we have to walk up a hill to our front door. The incline is about 10% to 15%. I want to build a walk out of stone or brick, but would like to landscape right next to the walk. The distance from the house to the walk is about 6 feet, and would like to landscape that approximately 5 feet all the way up the hill which would be approx 30 feet. This is pretty much full sun... any ideas on landscaping a 5 x 30 foot area next to the house?
