Trees, shrubs and ground covers can be used on steep or rocky slopes where mowing is not feasible. Once trees, shrubs and ground covers are well established they:

-help stabilize the soil, reducing both wind and water erosion
-reduce stormwater runoff by intercepting rainfall and promoting infiltration
-filter pollutants from the air and produce oxygen
-moderate temperature changes and provide shade
-provide some privacy
-improve aesthetic values and increase property values

In addition, ground covers can provide stabilization in areas which are heavily shaded.
