how to stabilize a nearly vertical scar on north slope in forest #872471

Asked June 10, 2024, 4:38 PM EDT

we bought a home in 80421, between mount bailey and crow hill. The original bulldozing to level the lot created a nearly vertical raw wall, 10 feet tall at it's highest, sloping downhill at about 7 percent grade. After being created it was never mitigated. It is now crumbling, with exposed crushed granite and sandstone, loose, dry soil. what is the best solution?
