Hello! Managing a 100ft long grassed turfed bank with a 2m wide sloping side at a 45% angle can indeed be challenging, especially if it's only accessible from the top. Here are a few suggestions to help you maintain it more effectively:

1. Use a Hover Mower
A hover mower can be a great solution for sloped areas. It glides over the grass, making it easier to manoeuvre on steep inclines. Since it's lighter and doesn't have wheels, it can provide a more even cut compared to a strimmer.

2. Robotic Mower
Consider investing in a robotic mower designed for slopes. Some advanced models can handle steep gradients and will autonomously maintain your lawn, ensuring a consistently neat appearance without the manual effort.

3. Terracing
If feasible, terracing the slope could make maintenance easier. Creating flat sections can help reduce the angle and make it more accessible for traditional mowing equipment.

4. Ground Cover Plants
If mowing continues to be problematic, you might consider planting ground cover plants that require less maintenance. Options like creeping thyme or sedum can provide an attractive, low-maintenance alternative to grass.

5. Professional Services
Hiring a professional lawn care service for periodic maintenance can ensure the bank is kept in good condition without the hassle of managing it yourself.

Thanks
