Applications of EPS in Landscaping
NPPF offers innovative Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) solutions for modern landscaping, combining functionality, design flexibility, and environmental efficiency. From rooftop gardens to complex outdoor terrains, EPS landscaping products provide lightweight structural support, drainage facilitation, and ease of shaping for creative and functional green spaces. Whether it’s softscape or hardscape applications, NPPF EPS helps architects, designers, and contractors meet performance and aesthetic goals with ease.
NPPF Geofoam is a specially engineered EPS product used extensively in landscaping due to its ultra-lightweight nature and excellent compressive strength. With densities ranging from 12 to 50 kg/m³, and in compliance with ASTM D6817, NPPF Geofoam meets or exceeds industry standards. It is a highly adaptable and easy-to-install material that offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional fill, significantly reducing labor, time, and equipment needs.
Hardscape Applications
How can it help my business?
EPS blocks are used as lightweight fill material for landscaping structures such as retaining walls, elevated garden beds, pathways, or terraces, providing foundational support without excessive weight.
Advantages & Benefits:
- Reduces the need for heavy fill or concrete
- Minimizes soil load on foundations and underground structures
- Can be cut and shaped to any design
- Highly durable, moisture-resistant, and long-lasting
- Accelerates construction with minimal site disruption
Softscape Applications
How can it help my business?
In softscape design, EPS is used to elevate garden areas, shape terrain contours, and reduce soil volume where planting depth is not critical.
Advantages & Benefits:
- Enhances soil aeration and promotes root growth
- Reduces weight over decks, podiums, and roof structures
- Can be combined with natural soil or artificial turf
- Environmentally safe and chemically inert
- Flexible for sculpting mounds or gentle slopes
Rooftop Gardening
How can it help my business?
EPS is ideal for rooftop gardening as a lightweight substrate replacement, ensuring structural safety while enabling lush greenery in urban spaces.
Advantages & Benefits:
- Significantly reduces load on roof slabs
- Promotes water drainage and root ventilation
- Supports modular landscaping and vertical gardens
- Acts as an insulator, reducing rooftop heat gain
- Safe for use with waterproof membranes and green roofing systems
General Landscaping Use
How can it help my business?
EPS can be applied throughout landscaping projects—commercial, public, or residential—as a versatile medium for soil replacement, elevation adjustments, and decorative shaping.
Advantages & Benefits:
- Easy to transport, shape, and install on-site
- Maintains stability in uneven or reclaimed land
- Cost-effective compared to traditional fill materials
