Shelterbelts & Windbreaks

Shelterbelts and windbreaks are a smart way to protect your land. They slow wind, provide shelter for stock, create privacy and reduce noise. With the right planting mix, they can also boost biodiversity and support native wildlife - making them a valuable long-term investment.

We grow a diverse range of hardy native plants well-suited for shelterbelts, and can support you with any stage of the process - from planning and plants through to the actual planting and maintenance.

There are plenty of reasons to consider native species in your shelterbelt or windbreak design:

  • Better shelter for stock including shade during hot weather

  • Healthy pasture growth and crop yield

  • Reduced soil erosion

  • A more natural, attractive landscape

  • Greater biodiversity and habitat for wildlife

  • Improved privacy (because sometimes the view’s better without the neighbours in it)

  • Lower noise from roads or surrounding activity
