STYRO EPS Landscaping Dubai and Across the UAE – Lightweight Fill Application
Challenges faced by landscaping contractors in UAE
- Landscaping shapes can be done by STYRO for any landscaping company in UAE by using conventional soil or light weight screed / concrete, however engineers and architects tend to face a few challenges when they choose conventional materials for light weight filling.

- Cost Constraint: Material must be cost effective in relation with conventional filling material available in the market
- Time Constraint: Work should be completed on fast track
- Re-design Flexibility & Workability: Filling material should be easy enough to remove in case if any re-design comes in mind an over a period of usage
- It should ensure good insulation, be resilient, and possess good acoustic properties
- To comply with all environmental issues, such as recycling or re-usage & sustainability
