Start with the ones farthest from you and work towards you. That helps even on level areas because you don't have to reach over the ones you've already planted.

I've done it both ways and it is easier to work from rear to front regardless of the slope.

One thing I've found is that on hills towards the backdrop, if trees get progressively smaller as they climb the hill it gives more of an illusion of depth & distance .

I don't see how it matters, as long s they look natural in placement. However, as I visualize myself doing it, I can see that reaching up over those placed lower might end up displodging some of them with a sleeve or elbow. So, try placing the uppermost ones first?

Evergreens on hillside

I will shortly by adding evergreens to a hillside made of foam. Should I start at the bottom and make my way uphill or start from the top and make my way downhill? Or does it even matter? I guess my question is , what is the best way of going at it?
