Benefits of Proper Landscaping
A well landscaped space provides many benefits for the land, people and animals. Aside from the obvious aesthetic benefits, proper landscaping and smart irrigation practices can help the environment and change the way people interact with the space around them.
Environmental Benefits
There are many unseen benefits to landscaping that impact the environment and everyday life.
- Air Quality: Plants, trees and grass trap dust and airborne particles and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. A single mature tree can absorb around 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
- Water Quality: Healthy maintained landscapes act as filtration systems. They filter pollutants from water before they have the potential to contaminate water sources.
- Stormwater Runoffs: Area’s known as Rain Gardens are filled with native plants to help reduce water runoff and manage flooding.
- Temperature Control: Green spaces absorb sunlight and maintain cooler temperatures compared to areas of stone, asphalt, dirt, or brick.
Erosion Control
Flowing water, wind, and human activity can all contribute to land erosion. Erosion can cause loss in soil nutrients, damage to trees and structures and even cause safety concerns. Cultivating strong trees, shrubs and other plants can improve soil health and absorb water, decreasing the chances of erosion.
Nature Preservation
Landscaped areas can provide food, living space, and other needs for wildlife. Many cities are now encouraging green spaces to help pollinators and other local wildlife thrive.
Human Interaction
Parks, courtyards and community gardens provide a great space for people to gather and can have lasting benefits on the health and happiness of those that use them.
Why are Landscaping Supports Important?
In order to cultivate a healthy landscape, trees and shrubs need proper support and watering. Tree supports provide stability to newly planted trees and allow them to establish a strong root system for future growth. Supports for irrigation systems are also beneficial to keep water pipes in the correct location, prevent damage to sprinkler heads and prevent injury to people and animals.
Weather Resistant Landscaping Products
Using quality, weather resistant tree and sprinkler supports ensure the longevity and safety of the landscape. Supports should be flexible enough so that they do not cause wear on the tree or irrigation system. They should also be highly durable to stand up to constant UV exposure, moisture and temperature fluctuations. StrongBox® landscape products are an ideal choice for Landscape Architects and contractors due to their durability, flexibility and ease of use.
UV Resistant
One of the biggest hurdles that landscaping products face is UV exposure. The sun’s harsh rays can break down unprotected materials and cause them to become brittle. That’s why StrongBox® uses UV resistant vinyl on its tree and sprinkler supports. This material maintains its strength and elasticity even in harsh, full sun environments.
Enhanced Durability
StrongBox’s UV and weather resistant supports are designed to last and can even be reused over multiple projects, reducing costs and unnecessary waste.
Non-Damaging
StrongBox® tree and sprinkler products are expertly designed to prevent accidental damage during installation and for the longevity of the products’ use. Soft, flexible vinyl cushions pipes and tree trunks and prevents friction from movement. Intentional design aspects also contribute to easier installation while decreasing the risk of accidental damage to trees and sprinkler systems.
StrongBox® Tree Supports
StrongBox® tree supplies are made from UV resistant vinyl and other quality materials to maintain their strength and stability in outdoor landscapes. Choose from multiple styles and sizes of tree supports to fit your application.
Cinch-Ties are a simple and effective way to keep trees aligned and prevent wind damage. The flexible vinyl tie easily wraps around the tree and fastens to an adjacent stake with a galvanized nail. Cinch-Ties can be used for single or double staking and meet ASTM-D-412 standards for tensile and elongation strength to prevent damage to the tree.
For high wind locations, StrongBox® Twist-Braces offer ample support for 5 gallon to 24 inch box trees. The durable metal rod is encased in UV resistant vinyl tubing and a rust-inhibiting coating to provide long lasting durability in any environment.
Hose & Wire supports are a fast and simple way to stake newly planted trees. The 12-gauge galvanized wire is encased in flexible UV resistant vinyl to protect the tree trunk. The exposed section of wire can be easily twisted on the support stake to maintain the position of the tree. This product measures 36 inches long and is perfect for 24 inch box trees.
StrongBox® Sprinkler Supports
Setting up a secure and stable irrigation system requires many parts and connections. StrongBox® offers a complete system of products that can be used together or individually as needed for any irrigation application.
StrongBox® pipe stabilizers control the movement of the water pipe between the sprinkler heads. Made from vinyl coated metal rod for long lasting corrosion resistance, the double J-hook design includes a vertical striking post to easily penetrate the toughest soil and prevent damage to the J hooks during installation.
Sprinkler stabilizers secure the sprinkler head to the pipe and prevent movement and damage. The vinyl covered J-Hooks secures the pipe to the ground while the extended steel shaft on top provides additional support to the sprinkler head.
These weather resistant ties are used on the top section of the stabilizer to secure the sprinkler to the post. The vinyl covered stainless steel wire allows for fast and secure installation to the stakes.
StrongBox’s Ratchel Toolwas specially designed for faster installation of StrongBox® Sprinkler Ties. Easily attach the hook into the tie eyelet and pull back. In one fluid motion, the ties are securely installed around the sprinkler head, reducing labor time significantly.
