Would you prefer not to Kill and use poisions in your garden? We would too. That’s why we poured our hearts into finding a solution where you can share a little bit less of your garden with our slimy friends, and the result is the slugstand. Helping you create a slug free zone in your garden, protected by a water moat. Our team has dedicated countless hours to developing a product that effectively addresses the challenges posed by these slimy intruders. And there’s plenty more to come.

Get to know us.

Our journey began in Laurence’s garden in Leeds, UK. After repeated slug attacks left his garden devastated, Laurence discovered a surprising gap: there were no barriers that were highly effective for pots and planters. This sparked an idea—to create a slug barrier that would make gardeners’ lives easier. What began as a simple vision has since blossomed into a thriving venture.

From those early days in a Leeds garage and garden—collecting slugs and testing barriers—we have grown into a dedicated team committed to providing the best solutions for gardeners. We’ve developed effective new products, refined existing designs, and conducted in-depth research into what truly works as slug and snail barriers. Most importantly, we’ve shared this knowledge freely through our blog, social media, and downloadable guides.

Our mission began with a goal: to create an effective barrier against slugs and snails for gardeners. We’ve since gone beyond this, offering solutions that are more effective than traditional copper barriers and safer for the environment than harmful slug pellets, which indiscriminately kill slugs and disrupt the food chain. Our collaborative efforts have led to innovative products that protect your garden while safeguarding the surrounding ecosystem.

We’re here to help you care for the garden you love—sustainably and effectively.
