Join me, Chloe, as I walk you through my Australian backyard garden – let me inspire you with some ideas on how to garden on a slope. Don’t let a sloping garden hold you back – there are many many ways you can still have a beautiful and productive garden.
We moved into this property 6 years ago – at the time there wasn’t a single plant in the garden – apart from some big gum trees. But during the past 6 years we’ve slowly transformed the space into various “rooms” and spaces we use daily. The “very backyard” section was our most recent creation and account for about a quarter of our overall house block.
To tackle the 33% sloping backyard we used a very clever product called ‘Straightcurve Edging’ – it’s a rusted steel edging (corten steel edging) that can be bent into any shape. So we’ve used it to create terrace style steps up to a small but lush green lawn. Don’t let a steep space stop you from successfully gardening on a slope!

Hi chloe… You done it so goooood…!

Absolutely beautiful garden! I was shocked to see you only had a few hundred subscribers with this kind of production value, quality camera work and charismatic presenter until I noticed there was only one video… Subbed and hoping for more soon!
I was trying to get some inspiration for the slopes in my garden. Wow! Your video blows my mind! You have a gorgeous garden and you must have put a lot of love and hard work into it. Thank you so much for sharing it. Greatly appreciated!
I’m confused about the bamboo, I was of the impression they liked full sun areas
Gorgeous garden and I love the veg beds!
👍
Brilliant design throughout❣️🙌 where did you source the steel from? What would I even ask for if I was shopping around?
Your channel Should have a million more subscirbers! Epic video, Epic Design, I am incredibly excited to do my slope garden !!!!! Thank you 🙂
Your garden and the whole layout is beautiful and peaceful… thank you for your video..
I'm planning to start gardening at my backyard and it's on a slope. Watching this video was very inspiring.
Beautiful garden! Thanks for the inspiration for my sloped backyard.
Thanks for the video! Did you find that the stones you put on the stairs end up getting everywhere or do they generally stay in place?
I would be a bit worried about kids falling onto the edge of that metal, looks kind of sharp, I suppose I could use some kind of smooth caping stone.
Beautiful
Talkin way too fast, swiping scenes too fast… but , if that;s your way..ok good luck
Have you ever had drainage issues since it’s on a slope towards you house. I have a house with a similar slope.
Hi there can i please know where you buy those steel ?

Was great to watch this stage of your garden in contrast to your Gardening Australia segment! 🙂
How do you create drainage behind that curved Corten steel retaining? Or you don’t?
Do have problems with standing water since lanscaping.
Wow! Can’t wait to see more videos from you. Love your design & plant choices. You’re a natural un front of the camera. Very polished video!! Feels like I am watching a pro garden show!!! ❤😊
