Having built my new concrete incline, i now want to lay turf on a slope to give the impression of a embankment. Will it grow ok on a slope with 5 inches of soil below it at its lowest depth?
hoping not to cut it too much, id like it to go sort of rough looking, i hate the concrete, its ruined the look of my once nice garden, so it must be disguised
Thought about seeding it? you can have a look around at what effect you want then, you could go for one that doesn't grow very quickly to aid lowering summer cutting

Should be fine. I used some parts of rolls of instant turf (a slow growing couch) leftover from my son's new lawn (it's his backyard) which was placed on my western embankment over 6 months ago. Although a lot died off because it was the end of summer and quite hot, it kept the embankment stable. Gradually it has been growing back and looks quite good. I have pulled faster growing weeds out of it but haven't had to trim or cut yet. As the weather is warming up now I will be interested to see how it goes. Though the depth of soil here is not a problem I don't think you should have any issues with 5" if the turf is kept moist and the soil is well drained. Have a go. You may be able to get some ends of rolls from an instant turf company for minimal cost or nothing?
The time will come as it did for a good friend of mine who also had grass as a scenic part of his layout. You could look at getting one of those small electrical strimmers. I think that this link will poit you to the sort of thing.
