Erosion Control:

Slopes and hillsides pose problems of erosion and water runoff.  Selecting the right plants that stabilize soil by providing a hardy root system with dense foliage can help mitigate soil movement on slopes.  Looking to plants that are native to the area are typically a good place to start.  Here in Southern California, options may include Ceanothus, Salvia, Manzanita, Penstemon or a combination of these.  Besides native plants, there are other great options that do tremendously well in stabilizing hillsides.  These include Myoporum, Rosemary, Lantana, and Acacia. Each slope has it’s own set of unique challenges, so if you need help making the right selections for your landscape project, please contact us!
