The invention relates to a protection method suitable for the high and steep side slope ecological restoration technology. The protection method is characterized by comprising the following steps that, 1, the slope surface is tidied, and a side slope is measured; 2, an anchor rod is driven into a high and steep side slope and grouting is conducted for support; 3, vertical and horizontal support lines are installed, and a grille net is laid and hung on the slope surface; 4, a steel wire rope net is laid and hung on the grille net; 5, an angle steel bracket is installed, in addition, the angle steel is fixedly welded with the anchor rod; 6, a gabion mesh and a nutrient geotextile are laid in a layered mode; 7, primary level vegetation concrete is seeding-sprayed; 8, a nutrient substrate is seeding-sprayed on the primary level vegetation concrete; 9, top-level vegetation concrete is seeding-sprayed on the nutrient substrate; 10, an independent planting groove is formed in the top-level vegetation concrete to plant seedlings; and 11, maintenance and management are conducted. According to the protection method for the high and steep side slope ecological restoration technology, the ecological restoration problem of the side slope with the slope being greater than 60 degrees can be solved effectively, the ecological environment is restored, and a new method is provided for solving the problems of high and steep side slope ecological restoration and side slope stability.
