My yard is on a slope. What should I do to make it a beautiful landscape.

Which way does the slope face (compass direction)?

How high and steep is it? Can you work on it easily, or is it too
steep?

Can you see it from your house and yards, or does it slope down and
away? Can you see it from the street? Who will enjoy the
landscaping on the slope, yourself or your neighbors?

What is your climate? Will the slope be irrigated, or are rains
sufficient?

Is this a natural or manufactured (graded) slope? What kind of
soil is on it?
