help -what to do with slope leading to lawn

[gooner]

Hi. Between my mother in laws house and lawn, there is a slope/bank which is surrounded by kerbing and filled with loose stones.under the stones there is soil, then a netting layer to stop the stones sliding down to the bottom. Needless to say the netting is not doing it's job and the stones are just sliding down the slope and she is left with lots of bare patches and the weeds are just growing up through the stones anyway.She would like to replace this with a no maintenance solution. Extending the lawn onto the slope is not really and option as it is too steep to cut and there is already kerbing surrounding this slope/banking. Have any of you dealt with this before or have any ideas for the best solution that looks quite good?

Here are a few pics of the slope.

Plant it with ground covering plants, heathers, interspersed with plenty of different seasonal bulbs.

You could terrace it also with brickwork and incorporate plants in alcoves etc, that would require time, imagination etc, only for the very enthusiastic gardener though!

As above with what Steiner suggested, and/or you could also build up a small retainer wall at the end (doesn't have to be high) - back fill with soil to ease the steep slope... the slope is quite steep & with rain, the stones will get washed down...

Also, there is a mesh that can be placed on the ground, anchored & then filled with stones - can't remember the name of it, but used in slopes like this to keep stones in place.
