If your parcel is located on slope, it is not occasion to forget about it forever and to look for money for purchase of new giving. When the earth under breakdown of kitchen garden is necessary, it is, of course, not the best option. But if you want suit beautiful corner of rest, such lack of landscape can be turned into advantage.
The site on slope provides big scope for imagination. Here it is possible to create beautiful and scenic natural view which will not remind other dachas.

It is better to suit them on special retaining elements – care for them is so facilitated that is especially relevant if owners elderly or have problems in respect of health. Slopes allow to organize the convenient system of waterings if to make distributing with use of hoses, pipes or channels of improvised material.
If desired it is beautiful to equip the site on slope it is necessary to think over in advance, how exactly you will have on it trees, landscape elements, plants and constructions. Any randomness has to be thought carefully over. If plottage big, it is possible to arrange so that from the earth retaining walls which merge with the general relief rise.
