    We live in Kamloops and have steep banks around us that are covered in weeds and tall grasses. Getting mixed info on what is best for soil stabilization, plant shrubs with minimal watering requirement? What should we plant, deep roots and who to contact for help.
    Thank you.

    Clear the weeds off, then plant same as on the level. If required, use blocks or netting to stabilize slope.
