Erosion of Soil

I have a ranch house with sloping yard in the back. I have a deck all along the back of my house. The dirt along the back of the house is washing away and pushing out through the steps and onto a platform deck that I have at the low end of home. What can I do to stop this from happening? When it rains the water comes off the roof and through the deck and over the years this dirt has washed away. Thanks for any help!!

Preventing Soil Erosion

Possibly use landscaping fabric and stone to lock in soil, or a small retaining wall. Reroute / repair down spouts / gutters away from area.
