HILLSIDE HALO™ — Precise Protection for Trees/Plants on Slopes 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.
