Do I need terracing on a sloped Heidelberg stand?

If you want level lawn or entertaining space, yes. Retained height and soil determine the wall system.

What survives the frost here?

Frost-hardy indigenous planting; warm-season lawn goes dormant and recovers in spring.

How is runoff managed on a slope?

With cut-off drains above the level areas and a defined outlet below, so water is intercepted before it reaches the house.

Do you have a branch in Heidelberg?

Climate and seasons in Heidelberg

Heidelberg lies at the south-eastern edge of Gauteng below the Suikerbosrand, with cold frosty winters, warm stormy summers and hilly terrain.

Hilly terrain means terracing and retaining are often needed for usable garden space.
Cold winters with regular frost affect grass and tender planting.
Summer storms run fast off slopes and need channel drains and defined outlets.
Rural and smallholding plots often combine garden, paddock and yard uses.
