It can sometimes be difficult to know what to to do with a slope in your garden. Where space is not an issue and the slope simply represents a relatively small, but troublesome, area why not imbue it with a character all of its own by creating something simple but striking. Here is something we did recently in a large garden which we think (and hope you do too) worked rather well. The garden consisted of many different parts but this steep bank of rough grass was proving difficult. Now the curved stone terracing and clipped yews stand sentinel throughout the year, while seasonal changes take place around them - spring bulbs, summer rough grass, autumn stubble and winter snow.
