Urban landscaping, Urban planting, Gardens In urban situations or other built-up areas, the microclimate, quality, and comfort of public spaces can be significantly improved by planting or re-naturalising.
However it is difficult to develop plants in such environments if there is insufficient space for root growth, if there are parts of buildings below the ground, if the soil has become compacted and is poorly aerated or drained, or if there are hard surfaces (such as asphalt, concrete, or paving) that are impermeable to air and water.
Nevertheless, an ideal environment can still be created in urban landscaping realisations, making it possible for trees and shrubs to develop with adequate aeration and hydration, even in very man-made environments such as car parks, tree-lined tarmac roadways, or roof gardens on top of underground structures, by using Laterlite Expanded Clay as a component of the substrate as well as in drainage layers and as mulch.
In addition, Laterlite Expanded Clay offers the possibility of landscaping roofs and infrastructures, thanks to the low weight and reduced pressure on the containment structures, as well as any type of landscape embankment.
