Roots that hold the hill
- Deep, knitting roots. Fine fescue roots 18–24 in and native grasses anchor even deeper, binding soil against wash-out.
- Self-repairing cover. White clover spreads by runners to close gaps before they erode.
- Self-fertilising. Clover fixes its own nitrogen — no feeding a hard-to-reach bank.
- Low-mow on a slope. Slow-growing fescue means far less dangerous mowing on the incline.
- Pet-safe. Built on clover and fine fescue, neither on the ASPCA toxic list.
Tough on slopes, easy on pets
Our erosion blend is fine fescue plus white clover (and native grasses for hot, dry sites) — clover is not on the ASPCA toxic list and fescue isn’t a listed toxic grass. You get soil-holding roots without chemicals or constant mowing.
Sow it in three steps
- Prep & protect. Loosen the surface, sow, and on steep banks add an erosion-control blanket or mulch to hold seed.
- Water gently. Keep the slope moist through germination without washing seed away.
- Let roots take over. As the cover knits in, it stabilises the soil and needs little mowing.
Common questions
What holds a slope best?
Deep-rooted plants. A fine-fescue and clover blend (plus native grasses on dry sites) knits the soil far better than shallow turf.
Do I still need an erosion blanket?
On steeper banks, yes — use a biodegradable blanket or mulch to hold seed and soil until the cover establishes.
Is it pet-safe?
Yes — it’s built on clover and fine fescue, neither of which is on the ASPCA toxic list.
When should I plant?
Spring or early autumn, when rainfall helps establishment without drought stress.
