I saw nothing in the O.P. to suggest it was a steep slope.

Personally, I would recommend planting seed rather than sod, but this
might not be a good time for either.

The last sentence of the main paragraph of the original message in this
thread read:
We won't be walking on it as its a fairly steep slope.

That's what I remember.... if too steep to walk it's unsafe to mow.
Pachysandra grows well on a shaded slope with poor stoney soil. I
like pachysandra as it's slow growing, non invasive, easy to contain,
nor does it climb like English ivy.
