Planting Ivy

I have English Ivy growing in my backyard. I have a section of sloped yard in the front of my house I would like to have this ivy cover. Can I just cut some of the ivy from my backyard and directly plant into the front? Do I have to do anything special, or can it just be cut at the root and replanted directly into the dirt? Is it too late in the year to do that? I do NOT have a green thumb of any sort! Help!

You would need to propagate the ivy from cuttings and develop the roots prior to planting in the new location.
Here are some links to help you.
