Local Roots Landscaping

Got a slope in your Pittsburgh yard? Here’s what to plant on it.

These plants hold soil, handle our winters, and come back year after year.

→ Creeping Juniper — spreads fast, holds tight
→ Daylilies — easy to plant, spread on their own
→ Black-Eyed Susans — Pennsylvania native, zero fuss
→ Switchgrass — deep roots, looks great all season
→ Forsythia — serious holding power, beautiful in spring

Save this before your next nursery run.

And if your slope is steep or water is pooling near your house, plants are a start, but not the whole answer.
