INFORMATION
URBANSCAPE® LANDSCAPING SYSTEM
The landscaping industry is constantly evolving to ensure:
- Good water conservation practices and reduced evaporation.
- More vigorous plant growth and better resistance to environmental stress.
- Control over soil erosion.
- Storm water management and less storm water runoff, reducing local flooding.
Significantly reduced water consumption is just one of the primary advantages of the innovative Urbanscape Landscaping System from Knauf Insulation, which is designed to meet the many challenges associated with water management.

URBANSCAPE® LANDSCAPING SYSTEM ELEMENTS
Urbanscape® Green Roll and other Urbanscape landscape-shaping materials (Green Flocks / Green Cubes) are made of natural rock mineral wool fibres with superior water absorption and water retention properties.
Virgin mineral fibres provide additional water storage, releasing water when required and protecting the water from percolation and reducing evaporation at higher temperatures.
The system also works to promote better root distribution, which in turn encourages good plant growth and development. All this and more make Urbanscape® landscaping materials the best, most versatile solution for growing plants in the most demanding of environments.

BENEFIT
URBANSCAPE SYSTEM BENEFITS
With the proper urban greening of city environments the entire population will see the benefits for decades, even centuries to come. That should encourage landscapers to use sustainable materials to plant more, to give back to nature, to make at least a small contribution in view of all that nature gives to us.
SIGNIFICANT WATER CONSERVATION
Urbanscape® Green Rolls deliver fast and long-term stable water re-absorption and water retention performance. A mere 1m2 of Urbanscape Green Roll just 2 cm thick absorbs a whole 17 litres of rainwater. Depending on the local climate and the weather / season, water savings of up to 75 % can be achieved.
LESS FREQUENT IRRIGATION
Urbanscape® Geen Rolls ensure that the right amount of water is made available to plant roots over extended periods of time. As a result, the need for additional irrigation systems is substantially reduced.
IMPROVED ROOT GROWTH
The water made available in reservoirs created by Urbanscape® Green Rolls ensures proper plant root growth and well dispersed root distribution.
STRONGER PLANTS
Thanks to the high water and fertilizer storage capacity of Urbanscape® Green Rolls, early- and long-flowering periods can be established, and plants are able to recover faster after extended dry periods.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
One major advantage of Urbanscape® Green Rolls are their ability to reduce storm water runoff, which translates into lower burdens on sewer systems. It can lower costs by eliminating the need for rain caching cisterns and similar equipment commonly used to manage storm water. And high rainwater retention capability helps reduce the number of accidents caused by heavy rainfall.
SUSTAINABILITY
Urbanscape® Green Roll is made from various common rock mixtures that are widely available in nature. The lightweight open structure of the product promotes extensive root distribution and vigorous plant growth.
FAST AND EASY INSTALLATION
Urbanscape® Green Roll is extremly lightweight and easy to install.
IMPROVED WATER AIR RATIO
By placing Urbanscape® Green Rolls below the soil layer or any other growing media, the water-retention capacity and aeration are improved. That makes the water and nutrients easily accessible to plants.
