Greening of Slopes  
     
 

It is Government's policy to make slopes look as natural as possible. We have committed to landscape every existing slope upgraded under the Landslip Preventive Measures (LPM) Programme and every newly formed Government slope. With this commitment and effort, we believe that our living environment will be greener and more harmonious. The following photographs illustrate some of the "before" and "after" appearance of features upgraded.

With the experience gained from providing landscape treatment to Government slopes, we have prepared a Layman's Guide to Landscape Treatment of Slopes and Retaining Walls. We hope that it will help and encourage private slope and retaining wall owners to provide landscape treatment to their slopes and walls when planning maintenance or upgrading works. More information can be found in GEO Publication No. 1/2000 "Technical Guidelines on Landscape Treatment and Bio-engineering for Man-made Slopes and Retaining Walls".
