Steep Hillside Driveway Idea

Sometimes due to lack of space, a steep hillside driveway on a slope like this one just can't be avoided. And in many areas and climates it works just fine with what you've got. However, if you live in a climate that has a lot of ice and snow, there may be a few times that driveways like this will cause you to leave your car or truck at the bottom of the hill and walk up. And again, if you did have a steep driveway like this in the land of ice and snow, I bet your kids would get real good at keeping it cleaned off.

Along with the steep driveway, the landscaping also needs special considerations to deal with a grade or incline like this. Lawn areas, plantings, and ground covers all must consider, erosion, run off, and saturation if everything is to stay in place and grow right. See hillside landscaping for specific ideas, pictures, and plans that deal with hillsides, inclines, grades, and slopes.
