Site Challenges:
Steep Slopes (continued)

On steep slopes, use erosion control fabric when the ground is bare. It helps hold the soil in place until new plants are established, will provide a weed barrier, and helps retain moisture.

It will be difficult to establish vegetation on slopes steeper than 2:1 (horizontal: vertical).

If the slope is not vegetated, grading may be needed to establish a stable slope. (See section on erosion).
