Controls water runoff while holding soil in place, creating stable planting zones for gardens and landscapes. Lightweight design allows homeowners and landscapers to install quickly without heavy equipment or specialized skills. Effectively stops soil loss, water runoff, and slope washouts with durable hillside erosion control barriers. Ideal for creating terraces, raised planting areas, or level sections on steep slopes for flowers, vegetables, or native plants. Made with environmentally safe materials that support healthy soil, plant growth, and long-term slope stabilization. Works on hillsides, embankments, yard slopes, drainage ditches, and other problem areas prone to erosion. Built to withstand outdoor weather conditions, UV exposure, and seasonal water flow for long-lasting results. Great for homeowners, contractors, and landscapers needing reliable slope stabilization and erosion prevention. Protects landscapes, prevents washouts, and adds usable outdoor space by transforming unstable slopes into functional areas. Made in the USA

The HILLSIDE HALO is an innovative solution designed to protect individual trees or small plant groupings from erosion and encroaching invasive species. Engineered for use on slopes up to 45°, this specialized soil retention and water management system creates a stable growing environment even in challenging terrain.



The HILLSIDE HALO features two interlocking Dirt Lockers that form a sturdy, protective ring around the plant’s root zone. This structure helps prevent soil loss, conserves moisture, and fosters a healthy microclimate for optimal growth.



🌿 Back Dirt Locker (Facing Uphill)



Acts as a barrier that intercepts and holds back soil, preventing erosion from above and shielding the root ball from sediment accumulation and washout.



💧 Front Dirt Locker (Facing Downhill)



Creates a basin that captures and retains water, helping maximize moisture around the base of the plant and reducing runoff — a critical function on inclined terrain.



Together, these two components form a powerful erosion-fighting duo that locks in soil, conserves water, and suppresses invasive species by physically defining and protecting your planting zone.



Ideal for:



Hillside orchards



Reforestation efforts



Residential slope gardening



Native plant restoration



Whether you're planting a single tree or fortifying a small grove, the HILLSIDE HALO offers smart, slope-adapted protection with all the simplicity and sustainability of Dirt Locker's proven design.
