Conserve
Vetiver Grass is a simple, practical, inexpensive, low maintenance and effective means of soil and water conservation, sediment control, land stabilisation and rehabilitation.
It is tolerant to climatic and environmental variations including drought, flooding, submergence and air temperature variations. The stiff and erect stems create dense hedges that can withstand high velocity flows, trap sediment and control water runoff.

Not all grasses are created equal. Meet Westcoast Vetiver, a powerful, non-invasive plant with a root system that dives 3 metres deep to stabilise soil and prevent erosion.
Not just grass. Vetiver is a natural solution.
Vetiver Grass is a powerful plant with serious positive impact. Known for its incredibly deep roots, it plays a vital role in soil stabilisation, erosion control, and land rehabilitation. Its adaptability makes it a go to choice for sustainable land management.
Deep Roots Deliver Powerful Environmental Protection
Our non-invasive variety of Vetiver grows roots up to 3 metres deep, creating natural barriers against erosion and runoff. It improves soil structure, supports water infiltration, and thrives in extreme climates. This makes it ideal for farms, riverbanks, and degraded land restoration.
Sterile and Secure: Ensuring Sustainable Land Management
Only sterile varieties like Westcoast Vetiver should be used as they don’t produce seeds and won’t spread uncontrollably. That means effective results without the risk of invasive growth. Westcoast Vetiver is the trusted choice for safe, controlled, and eco-friendly planting.
