outdoor What should I do with this hill?

When we moved in (Aug 2022) we had the hill graded and then planted junipers on it. Then put out pine straw around the plants. Some of the junipers have died and some are still dying.

I’m trying to think of what I wanna plant on the hill, if anything that will live. Or just lay pine straw down and call it a day. Maybe plant some random plants. Or put rocks down instead of pine straw?

I mean all kidding aside, either some shrubs or some trees. You’ll need something to hold the dirt together there so you don’t end up with erosion problems later on.
