01 / A LIVING APPROACH
Keep more of the good
stuff on your land.
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.
Work with the water
Use thoughtfully positioned hedgerows to help slow water moving across the surface of your property.
Build a living hedge
Start with slips, then give them the care and time to grow together. A continuous hedge matters more than isolated clumps.
