In this video, Mark Trebilcock, owner and creator of the Dirt Locker® erosion control hillside terracing system, visits customer 1 year after installation. For original insulation video watch "How to prep your hillside for planting."
Watch as their sweet reunion takes place, and witness the beauty of the greenery and color pop on this backyard slope. What once was described as a desert, this sloped yard is now a vibrant and thriving garden made possible by 128 individual flat terraced units. Eroding slopes often deal with water and top soil run off and typically nothing can successfully take root to grow. In this case, not only did this homeowner's plants completely transform the slope, the trees in Dirt Locker® Planter Rings at the top of the hill created a privacy wall as an added bonus.
A steep slope of 30° can be difficult and dangerous to walk up. With Dirt Lockers, you can actually safely walk up your hill for easy plant care. Notice the drip irrigation system targets each plant precisely, which in turn cuts down on the overall amount of water you need.
If you are looking for a way to completely change the topography of your yard to make use of an eroding area, give Dirt Lockers a try. Installation is easy as the pieces are lightweight and can contour to your unique slope type. Dirt Lockers are made in the USA from 100% recycled High Density Polyethylene. Visit @ to learn more!

Thank you! 😊
Our landscapers couldn't figure out the install last year so this month I am going to install it myself on our slope. Ours is a little less slopes than this guy, but steep enough. Our neighbors behind the slope have had erosion, so I really want this system. Our rebar has rusted but I think it can still be used. Can't wait to see it. Thank you for sharing this as I wasn't sure how I was going to do the DIY irrigation. I have a main line about 6 feet away that I plan to extend up the slope. The video was helpful. We can't wait to show you our before and after as well!

Great to hear you are going to give it a go! The rebar should be totally fine. It would be a great idea to schedule a consult with Mark for a detailed and tailored guide to your exact project. See our Shop page for details.

@@dirtlocker Thank you!
It looks like some of the cells have shifted and sagged over time. Is it possible to prevent that over time? Any videos of installations that are 10 years old or more? I imagine that since the cells aren’t anchored deeply, the look will deteriorate over time.

What you may be referring to is the fact that in some parts of the hillside there is uneven terrain, so getting the Dirt Lockers perfectly level through out was not possible or necessary. Also, with varying slope angles, you may need to widen certain pieces. Some can be 24" while others may be 30" or 36" wide depending on section. The system is anchored with 16" or 24" metal rebar, but the real anchoring is the roots of the plants. The Dirt Lockers may not even be needed in time, as the plants continue to grow and mature!
I noticed that some of the cells are broken or not connected properly. Did they break or become disconnected due to all the rainfall?

We don't see any broken ones, but some pieces you can choose to not connect to the row above. In that case it would be anchored with a J hook. Disconnecting the Dirt Lockers is essential when dealing with uneven terrain or varying slope angles through the hillside.
