\nLevel the Yard With Dirt and Mulch<\/span><\/h3>\nHaving small dips in your yard can be dangerous. You can hurt yourself if you aren’t careful about where you walk and may have trouble cutting the grass that grows in this area. A simple solution for landscaping an uneven yard is to add soil and mulch to make the ground level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nNot only will this eliminate visible dips and prevent injury by closing off the area, but mulch also helps the ground below retain moisture so vegetation can grow. Consider adding a small tree or flowers to this area and you’ll have even ground with eye-catching plants that will thrive thanks to the mulch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nAdd a Raised Garden Bed<\/span><\/h3>\nSay you have a nice even yard up until the edge, where a small slope causes the landscape to dip. Adding a raised garden bed to this area will enhance the overall landscaping without drawing attention to the sudden grading. This feature allows you to make the most of your space and add new plants to your yard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nRather than planting shrubs or trees on the edge of your yard, you can fill the raised bed with soil and any of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Flowers<\/span><\/li>\n
- Herbs<\/span><\/li>\n
- Vegetable plants<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Raised beds tend to have better drainage solutions than in-ground garden beds and may have fewer weeds infiltrating the space. If you’d like to add more color to your yard or grow your own vegetables, putting a raised garden bed in an uneven section of your yard provides the perfect opportunity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nCreate a Terrace<\/span><\/h3>\nWhen landscaping an uneven yard, it’s essential to assess the entire space and its varied slopes. Homes with hilly yards can benefit from terracing to make the space both usable and more attractive. Professional contractors can add steps leading to the hill’s peak and create a vibrant garden at the top of the hill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nExperts recommend terracing not only to maximize the space but also for soil stabilization. Forming a terrace with steps on vulnerable slopes can help with erosion control and prevent damaging amounts of water runoff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, hardscaping features remain a popular option for transforming the space and making it more functional.
