Terrace Gardening

Steep slopes and terrace spaces do not have to be dull. Gardening is one way of making these spaces come alive. In fact, terraces are ideal places for flower and vegetable gardens. Terraces are effective in preventing soil erosion. They allow for mini-gardens or garden patches cascading along the slope.

Recycled Terrace Garden

Terrace gardens often use treated wood, bricks, rocks, concrete blocks and other masonry products in bordering or walling. Treated wood, though, is easy to work with, blends well with plants, and is often cheaper than other materials. The height of the walls are mainly based on the steepness of the slope. The terrace material must be strong and anchored firmly for it to stay in place amid varied weather conditions.

Overall, terrace gardening immensely adds interest to a rather common landscape.
