The landscape fabric (mypex) I've experience of tends to be pretty slippery
and I don't think would be good on a steep slope. Galvanised or plastic
covered wire netting would give the stability you are looking for but still
allow nature to takes it's course. Judging by the amount used on motorway
embankments suppliers must be plentiful!

I have a bank that slopes gentle, then the slopt increases. Total rise
height is about 6 feet above about 9 feet.

I want to create a 45degree slope, covered in grass, wild flowers etc and
at
the same time increase the width of the plateau at the top of the slope.

So, can I import lots of topsoil, sow seeds and cover with landscape
fabric
or similar? Or how exactly would I do this? I want to stabilise the
slope
whist nature is getting going as I imagine it will just "wash away" if I
don't.

Thanks for suggestions, tip, references.

Paul DS.
