ever since our condo committee decided to publicize an unofficial trail thru the woods behind our unit, we had an increase in foot traffic, not to mention a loss of privacy. this little hillside has taken a beating & turned into a mudslide
been trying to mitigate the erosion but I'm losing
I can put in a maintenance request but not sure if they would actually do anything. & if they did they would only make it more inviting. instead I thought I would make another attempt at keeping it casual. I staked in some 2"x2" pressure treated sticks. they are helping me get up & down the hill when I tend the garden, but they haven't actually stopped the erosion
was thinking of cutting into the hill to make the steps more like steps, for the toes of ppl's shoes, instead of the toes striking the hill between the sticks. also planting grass strategically
would love some opinions. should I just let the condo ppl deal with it? should I leave as-is? should I replace the sticks w/ granite steps & fill the in between w/ gravel? should I take out the sticks & just plant grass? or lay down fresh sod? I don't want to get in trouble w/ the "condo police"
