15 Hill Landscape Design Ideas
Some homes are located on hills and it would be challenging to design a house on that kind of typography. Aside from the house, even the landscaping needs to have a different kind of treatment in order to look a lot better.
There are lots of considerations to make when landscaping a hill like making sure that there will be a slow flow of water by placing terraces or landscape edgings.
You might need help from a professional landscaper in order to make sure that the soil will not erode and that it will also appear appealing. Putting plants, retaining walls, terraces are just few of the ways to landscape a hill. With that, we will give you some ideas on how some outdoor home scenes were done.

You might think that we were merely showing you the house here but no, check out the stairs on the sides, the position of the house and the modern landscape it used. For a modern design, minimal number of plants are used but more hardscapes are seen just like this one.
Bonifield Residence
When we speak of minimal outdoor scene, one way of doing that is by using a monochromatic approach in greens.
Leesburg Residence
Planters with stones and stairs decorated with stones are seen here. The pergola as well as the outdoor lighting and water feature complete the look of this hilly landscape.
Spur Road
If you want a neat look, let the groundcovers do the work for you. Then add a little space of soils and stones to add drama to it.

Aside from the beautiful contemporary design of this house, the landscape is also simple but cozy. The use of stones on the upper hilly area is one smart way to treat this kind of typography.
Well, if your house is sitting on a hilly area, you do not have to worry because you can still do a lot for its landscape. Like what we said, try to seek help from a professional landscaper so you can be guided on the proper things to do. Also, you have to choose the right plants for your home and when your landscape is done, see to it that you will be able to maintain it well to preserve its beauty.
