    A sloping hillside adjacent to a patio is the focus of this episode of Weekend Landscaping. Join Jessie Mack Burns as she creates terraced planting beds that will form a protective perimeter for the patio, screen the hillside and define the view. Terrace retaining blocks create multiple terraces for evergreen shrubs and plants. Water efficient drip irrigation is added to ensure consistent moisture levels and low voltage lighting is installed to enhance the plantings and the patio.
