Scheme of implantation of a flight of steps with cuttings on artificial ridges. The structure is carried out simultaneously with the formation of the various layers of the embankment, putting a bed of cuttings covered by the material of the next layer on the upper part of each layer. The branches must protrude from the ground for about 25 cm. With this system, in addition to the greening of the structure, a considerable increase in stability due to the draining and consolidating action of the plants.
