Texas Gardening: Back Yard design help needed, 0 by Dogs_N_Petunias

We have chainlink fence on property line between us and back neighbors. This is on other side of driveway from what I call our back yard. Their back yard is washing away at an alarming rate, 6 to 8 inches of topsoil lost in the last 5 years, but they "don't do yard work" period. So it is up to us to try to hold the fence and post oak trees.

I've put some liriope there and that holds and survives dry spells. I plant it and then place rock around it. Anything else that would have pretty foliage or bloom with only early morning sun? As an experiment, I've put a few mounds of Katie Blue Mexican petunias there in the last week. Don't know if enough soil will hold to keep them alive through winter.

Yes, home ownership is definitely a challenge. Hopefully we'll finish this before we're moved to the "nursing facility."
