Rep Power: 0   |  Hillside My house is up on a hill so we have small front yard about 15feet long then it just becomes a hillside down to the street. Currently it is covered with ivy but there are a ton of weeds in the ivy. Should I just get in there and weed the ivy or could I remove the ivy completely and just put some plants and stuff there. |

Rep Power: 4 | You can dig it all out... My recommendation if it isn't too steep is to use a roto tiller to really tear out all the ivy... Just remember, that ivy does also add alot of fill if it is maintained correctly... |

Rep Power: 10 | I HATE ivy. i think its gross and detracts from the house --- especially when its crawling up it. A nice mulch circle around some small shrubs would look really nice.

Rep Power: 0 | There are some great looking plants that will prevent erosion. Just do some research.

Rep Power: 10 | pachysandra (sp?) comes to mind. it's easy to maintain, requires little direct sunlight, and stays alive all year round.
