WHAT IS GREEN.RING: • BASIC INFORMATION GREEN.RING is a planting ring – a simple and useful dual mulch solution for your treasured trees and plants. The ring can also serve as a flower bed, primarily intended to liven up higher level lawns.
• THE IDEA BEHIND GREEN.RING Nowadays, a large part of the modern world is developing the sense and the need for a higher level of horticultural arrangement, both for external and internal environments. More and more people prefer to have the surroundings in which they live, work, relax, have fun, etc. aesthetically and functionally arranged also from a horticultural point of view. The professional planting ring was developed with the aim of maintaining lawns (mowing, aeration, etc.) without damaging valuable trees. In order to be able to use lighter mulch (bark, decorative straw, etc.), a second ring was added to the outer edge of the first, which allows the use of heavier and harder mulch. The ring of heavier mulch thus prevents the lighter mulch from being blown away during mowing. By using different colour combinations of mulch, a great visual effect is achieved that livens up the lawn and plantings.
• DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES The primary goal in developing the product was to provide a professional and at the same time simple and rough planting design/decorative ring with a very wide range of applications, from high end lawns and parks to home gardening. Consideration was also given to the fact that the product should not be geographically (too) restricted and that it should be usable in most climate zones.
• APPLICATION AND USE In addition to high end lawns, parks, cemeteries, decorative and herbal gardens, GREEN.RING can also be used in urban environments, such as city centres, streets, parking lots, interiors (shopping malls). GREEN.RING can easily be used for home gardening projects, too.
• DIMENSIONS GREEN.RING is available in four standard dimensions from 600 to 1200mm in 200mm increments.

• MATERIALS GREEN.RING planting rings are made of environmentally-friendly 100% recycled high-density polyethylene (PE-HD), distinguished by very good mechanical properties and chemical resistance. The density of PE-HD allows simple transportation of the product and easy installation. Additional UV stabilizers provide excellent resistance to weathering and slow down aging. Pigments are added to the individual rings to allow different colouring of the ring and further retard aging. The wall of the GREEN.RING planting ring consists of profiled outer and smooth inner layers. The layers are joined by extrusion welding to form a homogeneous wall. The outer corrugated layer improves the ring stiffness and at the same time allows the use of heavier mulch. Low thermal conductivity coefficient prevents the evaporation of water from the inside of the ring. All connections are made by welding a hot wire from PE-HD, which ensures trouble-free recycling of used rings. Characteristics of planting rings: material density> 0.945 g / cc elasticity modulus > 800 N / mm ² thermal conductivity coefficient from 0.35 to 0.40 W / mK ring stiffness SN> = 4 kN / m 2 (EN ISO 9969)
• USAGE GREEN.RING has practically no location restrictions. The product is generally used throughout the world, to a reasonable latitude for outdoor use, of course. Due to professional watering performance, GREEN.RING is particularly suitable for use at the most prestigious locations in arid climates/regions of the world.
• INSTALLATION GREEN.RING is easy to install and easily adapted to various types of terrain. GREEN.RING is a user and environmentally friendly product. Most importantly, GREEN.RING is a highly cost effective product. All elements of GREEN.RING are robust, simple and easy to install, which certainly lowers cost of installation.
• WARRANTY GREEN.RING has a 5-year warranty for the ring itself and a 1-year warranty for all fittings and components.
