Succulent Slope Before & After: Ten Challenges and Solutions
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you garden on a hillside, no doubt you know how important it is to “work with nature," as designer Steve McDearmon advises. Doing so was his biggest challenge in landscaping this steep, street-side garden north of San Diego.
The land’s susceptibility to erosion, plus its length and grade, made access and installation difficult. As their budget permitted, the homeowners worked with Steve in phases over several years. The result: An exotic, drought-tolerant display of cycads and succulents---on a slope that won't slide into the street below.
Do join me virtually in Donna and Paul Carlomagno's garden, see clever solutions to ten challenges in before-and-after's, and discover colorful succulents the couple enjoy "every time we go outdoors."

Lovely. Loved their candidness in admitting they had to start and stop a number of times and that it's a work in progress

Beautiful!!
Really love the inclusion of palms and cycads with the succulents. Smart design watching natural flow of water and adapting the plantings and rock placement. Creative genius!!

Love this video We have the same issue.
Debra I have your books. There is a couple on Sarasota Street in OB that had Steve McDearmon do their yard. It looks so tropic -yet they say they never have to water. Steve is so talented.

So nice of you
Have you ever gardened on a slope? I have, and gravity and erosion were NOT my friends. 😬
Bellissimo
