I live in Perry Park, Larkspur, CO. When roads were put in, on the upside of hills, exposed dirt remained and erodes. Can you recommend a ground cover, vines, or other plantings that would look better as well as stop erosion? We have lots of deer so any greenery must be deer resistant as well as drought tolerant.
