Options & Benefits of Filler Material for Landscaping Around Your Industrial Plant
Landscaping around an industrial plant does not seem like a big deal, but it is. Most industrial plants are not always open to the public or their clients, so effective landscaping helps to make the property less "dim and grim." Landscaping, therefore, is extremely helpful. One of the things you can do is create a more green border around the base of the building, incorporating flowers, bushes, shrubs, and filler material. What you choose as plants is up to you, but your filler material should be chosen with care.
The following filler options and their benefits will help you decide what to choose, and what to choose for greenery around the base of the building.
Colored Shredded Bark
Colored and shredded bark as filler adds more color to a rather gray structure. It will compliment whatever you plant, and it will absorb moisture and humidity to keep plants nourished. It can also act as an absorbing material for excess humidity pulled from inside the building and ejected outside close to the ground.
Stone Gravel
Any stone gravel supplier can help you with this one. Buy enough tonnage of any color, size, and shape of stone you want to cover the ground around the greenery you choose. The most striking gravel is white crystallized chunk gravel that is reflective and eye-catching. With a very gray sort of building you have, avoid a lot more gray or black stone, unless the plants you choose to use are vibrantly colored and the black or gray gravel really makes the flowers and bushes pop. Gravel also filters liquids, so if your plant pumps water out to the outside (like a sump pump and French drainage system), the gravel will filter and sift out the liquid, dispersing it in all directions and into the ground around your landscaped plants.
Bark or Pumice Nuggets
Bark nuggets are chunks of wood that have been cut to nugget size and nugget shapes. They hold moisture too, but not as well as the shredded bark does. Bark nuggets can also be dyed a variety of colors if you would prefer something other than natural wood nuggets. Pumice nuggets can be confused for bark nuggets from far away because of their size and shape. Up close, pumice nuggets are clearly stone, formed from the pumice and ashes of volcanoes. Black, gray, and red are your only color choices for pumice nuggets.
