When the owners of this new house look out their windows, they see a barren slope edged by an eroded gully. They want the drainage problem corrected, and they'd also like to make their yard more beautiful. Our solution includes building a rock-lined culvert to direct water flows and eliminate erosion. We also tame the slope with a prairie-style garden inspired by nature, using masses of ornamental grasses.Plant list:
