USDA Hardiness Zone: 8a

What to look for: This brick retaining wall on High Rock Lake is planted with a variety of plants that enjoy good drainage. An important job of this planting is to prevent water runoff from the lawn and surrounding area.
Horticulture: These plants were chosen because under a thin layer of soil is fast-draining shale. There are mature pines and oaks that provide shade for part of the day. The brick wall faces south and west, so the sun-loving plants receive an adequate amount of light to keep them happy.
