We are cleaning off more of the weeds and small trees leaving the stumps to keep the bank from washing down
We have a red dirt bank that grass won't frow on. Any suggestions?
+6
We bought our house a few years back and have been trying different things. We have put rock at the bottom but it gets pretty steep toward the top. I just want it covered!
The round area is where plants are planted, haven't come in yet
Some type of ivy maybe? Could you bank it into sections with railroad ties?
Maybe this will help...
What I saw In the country on a slope was ferns and it was so beautiful. Wish you the best of luck.
You need a plant that is best for erosion control. A well rooted ground covering plant. Look into 'Myoporum' plants. They're a pretty ground covering plant perfect for a hill like yours.
Hi did u decide to hat to do with the slope? Any pics? Thank you

No...we tried planting. Running plants to get things started growing on it. Some lived and some not so much..lol We are still looking into different things before this upcoming spring.
Euonymous, heuchera, ferns will do well in shade (as appears to be the case, from your photo). Given the slope, you may need plants with low water requirements, Your plants will also be competing with tree roots for space and water. Delosperma, iris, sedums may work in some areas given your deciduous trees. Daffodils would bloom on slopes in the Spring, as may creeping phlox. Azaleas will grow in semi shade, as will mountain laurel and rhododendron,( although more filtered shade is better). Try adding composted cow manure when planting, to improve soil and water issues.
If you are in an area that stays above 0 degrees f. plant winter jasmine (jasminium nudiflorum) . This is a vine which blooms in early spring or winter during mild spells.
