Abstract: The paper presents the problem of slope stability of embankments covered with vegetations. The main issue to introduce vegetation ontoo slopes is the adequate compaction of built-in soils. Plants selection for slope stability ought to be adjusted to a kind of soils and side of slope. Improper soil preparation can cause intensive accelerated erosion on slopes. Slope stability should be analyzed taking into consideration the influence of existing vegetations. The presented results shows that simple activity like vegetation establishment can increase the factor of safety by as much as 20%.
