The invention discloses a method for ecological remediation of a side slope. According to the method, a reasonable material proportion of a spraying-seeding substrate is summarized on the basis of a lot of test data and project experience, so that the physicochemical properties of the substrate reach the best indexes required for the growth of plants; compared with highly-dispersive soil particlesformed by technologies of the same kind, the soil structure with rich pores is formed by means of the method, can achieve water retention and ventilation, slow down leaching loss of nutrient elements, and guarantee the good growth of root systems of the plants; sprayed artificial soil is small in density, low in unit weight, and large in internal friction angle, is easily attached to a steep slope, and is unlikely to be peeled off; compared with the technologies of the same kind, the spraying-seeding thickness can be obviously increased, and the long-term growth demands of the plants are met.Through the use of polyacrylamide, the effect of flocculating the solid substrate is achieved, so that the substrate sprayed on the slope surface is subjected to solid-liquid separation, clear wateris filtered out, and the loss of the solid substrate and nutrients is reduced; in the dewatering shrinkage process of the substrate, the solid substrate forms a granular structure with certain porosity, and thus the growth of the plants is better facilitated.
