Picture taken today in zone 6b. My house sits on a hill, and the landscaping feels like a colorful canvas hanging on a wall! A few of the plants were here before, but most I've put in since owning home five years ago. I've become more invested in natives recently and have incorporated some of them, with plans to remove that last patch of grass next year and meadow the area. The grasses (which I hate TBH) will fill in soon and cascade over the parking pad. I try to keep everything looking somewhat tidy to appease the neighbors, hopefully it comes across that way.

Not sure where you’re located, but I’m in the Oakland, California area and there are a lot of houses built on hills like this. They’re a bit more to maintain and plan for but I think they look great.
Lovely!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. We have a similar slopped front yard and planning on make it no lawn. Good inspiration!
That looks like a Sears catalogue house.
What’s unfortunate. Ecology is collapsing. Grow more than lawns. Plant native and help the local ecosystems.
Beautiful!
Who the fuck would want to mow the side of a hill
