"Inclined" apparently isn't good enough.
Why lawns in the first place?

At Millstone Point, a McMansion which has just been converted to a
Mansion had many truckloads loads of new loam dropped just 20 feet from the lake. The pile would have covered school buses!

Now fertilize that loam, and see what happens.
The most pristine lakes have a preponderance of White Pine trees surrounding them. Near where this
Mansion was put in, scores of White Pines were removed just recently.
