Landscaping solutions – for sloping surfaces
As a landscaping professional, you’ll know that sloping surfaces can throw up all sorts of challenges, depending on the type of project and the steepness of the slope involved.
A key aspect of many landscaping projects – and one that, as a landscaping professional, you have to get right – is drainage and filtration.
Achieving a flat and lush lawn can be tricky. It needs careful attention, watering and mowing to keep it looking smart, neat, and free from moss and patches. Things get more complicated when the grass is used for occasional parking – for example, if you sometimes need overflow parking from your usual driveway.
A beautiful driveway can do wonders for the kerb appeal of your property. Choosing the right finish for your driveway is imperative, as it’s a decision you’ll have to live with for a long time. Here’s a guide as to the various options you have when it comes to a surface finish for your driveway.
One of the key issues associated with using gravel in a landscaping scheme is its migration to other surfaces. There are misconceptions around gravel driveways, in particular, that they are difficult to maintain and keep looking good. Fortunately, there are easy measures to keep gravel in its intended place and help minimise the maintenance that make this versatile surface finish more attractive.

A property perched atop a hill may offer stunning views for the owner, but they present distinct challenges when it comes to landscaping the driveway. When creating the perfect driveway for a client, you want to make the choices that will best showcase their property but will also stand the test of time, especially when it comes to a sloping driveway.
Laying a gravel driveway without a gravel grid retention system is asking for trouble. Without such a system, both the design and integrity of a gravel driveway will be compromised, with gravel able to migrate and spread, and the subsequent loss of defined borders. Ruts and grooves are also likely to appear in a gravel driveway laid without a retention system, spoiling the overall effect and creating an unpleasant experience for anyone driving or walking over the gravel surface.
