Default land erosion and stairs

Hi,
I live on the northern side of rattlesnake. The land (about 150 ft) between my house and the water edge is a relatively steep slope - mostly soil and very few rocks. Unfortunately, the land has not been well maintained by a previous owner (we bought the place last Fall) and the soil around some of the concrete pilings that support the stairs leading up to the house is eroding (the concrete is fully visible in several pilings). The growth/vegetation is bad in these areas. I'm wondering if folks can recommend what I can do to remedy this? Do I need to bring in more soil to pack around these areas ? What can I plant that will make a strong root system around the stairs to minimize erosion? etc.... any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Lake Guy
