I want to plant something on the hillside to keep erosion to a minimum. The soil is mostly DG and sandy. Any sugguestions?
Try CROWN VETCH. Many state highway departments use it on steep banks and hillsides, I've used it near the road by my house. It spreads via underground runners and is about 18" tall, somewhat fernlike, and has small pink flowers for a short while each year.

You can get seeds or rooted crowns from many of the mail order garden catalogs.
