Planting grass on area with steep gradient

Idbatterim · 2017-04-22 23:07:42

Hi lads. Planting or intend to plant grass on area with steep slope. Too steep to use mower. Is there a species of grass I can use, that will only grow to certain height and never require mowing?

Chewings fescue or creeping red fescue will only need mowing few times a year.

Good on a bank but other grasses will get in eventually.

Not a normal grass, but some of the ornamental clump forming grasses will only grow to a certain height.

As mentioned earlier wild grass will invade over time and need regular maintenance.

Maybe think of ground cover plants to blanket the area.
