I have a sloped backyard from our porch down to a fence that makes it hard to mow.

Dan's of Central Florida, Inc. on Apr 11, 2011Hi Stan, It looks like your grass/yard ends just off the left side of that picture, is that correct? I might put some flower beds along the front of the porch area (where the red chairs are in that picture). Using mulch or something similar around the trees in the background there would further reduce the mowing area. For some further ideas, check on the main page located here: http://www.hometalk.com/feeds There you will see a big "Ask" button near the top, underneath that is a drop down box that probably says "All Posts." Click that and select "Photos." That will allow you to see the photos other people have posted here. You should be able to get some great ideas by browsing through them. Many people have posted pictures of their landscaped areas and many of those are on a slope.Helpful Reply
