Ground cover - lawn alternatives on slopes
Keeping a sloped grass lawn looking good is hard work and an uphill struggle! The soil is often poor, dry and difficult to mow. The good news is there is another way. Plant low growing plants, which need little mowing or feeding and cope with dry conditions. Either flowering plants like clover and daisy or a wildflower meadow, which only needs one mow a year. Also supports wildlife, particularly pollinators.
