I have a power line to the west side of a roadway that is on my property but is also subject to county modifications (I believe it's called an easement.) if they want to widen the roadway or do something with the power line. I would like to have some kind of landscaping done that would keep volunteer weeds and trees from growing under the power line, but need to keep the cost very low (less than $1,000). To make things worse, there is a slope to land that makes it difficult to mow. OK... so, I can someone to come in to chop down the trees, but they keep coming up. (... been there, done that.) I can use "Round-up" every so many months, but I'd rather not. Do you happen to have any sources, brainy students, volunteers, and/or professionals who might be able to help transform approximately 100 feet by 20 feet into something that's low maintenance, can provide access to power line, low expense, and pleasant to the eye? It would be nice to use native plants and be useful for wildlife, the soil is rather thin with lots of rocks below (I've tried to put in wild-flowers, bushes, and day lilies... they get overgrown by weeds. Rose of Sharon did grow along the road edge, but the angle wasn't pleasant to the eye.) Is there anything that you'd suggest?
