Report Title : Layman's Guide to Landscape Treatment of Slopes

Author : Geotechnical Engineering Office

Abstract

This Layman's Guide is intended for the use of the general public. It provides information and general guidance on landscape treatment for slope works and natural terrain landslide mitigation measures. It is Government's policy to make slopes in Hong Kong look as natural as possible. We are striving to improve the quality of our living environment through active planting, preservation of trees and other vegetations, together with proper maintenance. With this commitment and effort, we believe that we can achieve the overall aim of creating a greener, more harmonious and ecologically sustainable slope environment. We trust that this document will continue to serve the purpose of helping and encouraging private slope owners to provide appropriate landscape treatment to their slopes when planning maintenance, upgrading and new developments.
