Hold onto your soil
Dense hedges can help capture sediment carried by surface runoff, supporting your broader erosion-management plan.

Put vetiver to work on your property. Grass slips for living erosion-control hedges, with practical advice to help you plan, plant and establish them.

01 / A LIVING APPROACH
Soil is worth looking after. When established in well-planned hedgerows, vetiver can help slow surface runoff and trap sediment. The right layout and establishment care make the difference.
Dense hedges can help capture sediment carried by surface runoff, supporting your broader erosion-management plan.
Use thoughtfully positioned hedgerows to help slow water moving across the surface of your property.
Start with slips, then give them the care and time to grow together. A continuous hedge matters more than isolated clumps.
