I was wondering if this is considered a fail, two different slopes same site ?

Looks like the site needs some better drainage provisions. But the slope didn’t massively fail. There’s just some surficial erosion and sloughing that needs to be addressed.
 
What slope angle is it and what is the soil, looks like a gravelly CLAY.

It also looks like the turf didnt have time to bed in a form some roots into the slope. You can see how its come off as a carpet.
 
Geotechguy1 that’s interesting. How do you think we could apply that for some remediation on these slopes? Out of sight out of mind and it disappears
