This document discusses ways to reduce erosion and runoff from steep slopes and bare areas. It recommends planting ground covers to hold soil in place and absorb water. Specific ground cover options are provided, like ajuga, liriope, ornamental grasses, and dwarf juniper. Building terraces and installing drainage pipes are also suggested to redirect runoff away from slopes. Properly selecting and establishing ground covers helps control erosion while beautifying the landscape.
