Sorry for the late post. I've been away from the site for awhile.

I have a 40 year old dam. The dam face is too steep. It's about 24-26 degrees. It holds water well, but is difficult to maintain. I have to weed wack it by hand. I've tried two types of mowers, but nothing will stay on the surface.

You say you won't have to mow, but you do have to mow or trim occasionally to keep woody plants from growing. So, try to get a 2:1 slope at a minimum, 3:1 is much better.
