Granite has been widely used in urban landscape design due to its hardness, durability and beauty. The following is an introduction to the specific applications and advantages of granite in urban landscape design:
1. Application of granite in urban landscape design
Ground paving
Sidewalks and squares: Granite sidewalk bricks are durable, beautiful and diverse, and have good anti-slip properties. They are suitable for urban streets, park scenic spots, squares and other places. For example, in the Tongxiang MixC project, the entrance square uses a variety of granites such as sesame black-burned granite and night snow-burned granite for paving, creating a gradient level and a visual effect of entrance guidance.
Parking lot: Granite's high compressive resistance and wear resistance make it an ideal material for parking lot paving, and it can withstand frequent vehicle rolling for a long time.
Courtyard and community roads: In private courtyards and residential communities, granite paving is not only beautiful, but also improves the overall environmental quality.

Application Cases Tongxiang Mixc: A variety of granites were used for paving in the project, creating a gradient level and visual guidance effect. Yuxi City Landscape: Granite railings are widely used to enhance the beauty of public spaces. Langtaosha granite: Because of its moderate price and clear texture, it is widely used in large-area paving, such as parks and squares. In summary, granite has become an important material in urban landscape design with its excellent physical properties and aesthetics, and can add unique beauty and value to the urban environment.
