The invention discloses a treatment method for a rocky desertification area. The treatment method includes: preparing soil, to be more specific, digging holes and cleaning rocks; building racks, to bemore specific, preparing branches and building branch racks; improving soil, to be more specific, building a planting slope, building water-retaining holes, and performing ground construction; performing ecological construction, to be more specific, building forest land, sowing grass seeds and laying mosses. The method has the advantages that by building the branch racks, setting the water-retaining holes and the planting slope and performing multilayer vegetation ecological construction, the natural restoration of the rocky desertification area can be promoted, natural ecology is built, long-acting treatment is achieved, and water retaining and soil fixation are achieved.
