A wall is best fixed with a mix of deep and shallow roots
Plant a wall
A wall without plants will easily slip in the rain. Therefore, it is advisable to plant a mound - with plants that have strong roots and thus prevent slipping. What has to be taken into account when laying out a moat and which plants are suitable for greening, you will find below.
Create a wall: This is to be considered
Few know: You may need a permit to create a wall. The deciding factor is above all the height of the earth wall and in which state you live. Inquire about applicable regulations before you start dumping.
In addition, you should make sure that the wall should not be steeper than 45 °.
Plant the earth wall meaningfully
When planting the wall the proximity to the water is to be considered. The plants in the upper area not only have it up to the moist soil in the soil, the upper part also tends more to dry out, as it gets the most sun. Therefore sun-loving, drought-resistant deep roots should be cultivated here. In the middle and lower part you can plant flat-rooting plants. Make sure that your plants have sufficient winter hardiness so that they do not enter the winter. Anyone looking for a green slope in winter can opt for evergreen plants.
When choosing plants, keep in mind the location of your embankment. Is she lying in the sun or in the shade? Choose the plants accordingly.
Deep-rooted plants for the upper area
It makes sense to combine these deep roots, which provide a firm anchorage in the soil, with flat-rooting, wide-spreading plants. Ideal for this are ground cover. You can find a detailed list with the most beautiful ground covers for slope attachment here.
Tips
If you should avoid landslides during the growing season, attach your embankment with embankment mats.
