An industrial town with a taste for tidy frontages
Jalandhar's economy is built on sports goods manufacturing and hand tools, and a walk through its industrial pockets shows plenty of factory offices and showrooms that have smartened up their entrances in recent years. A pebble or gravel bed along the approach to a factory gate is a small, low-maintenance way for these businesses to present better to visiting buyers, many of whom travel from out of state or abroad for sourcing trips.
This kind of enquiry usually comes from the office or admin side of a unit rather than a homeowner, and quantities tend to be modest but recurring, since factory premises are often refreshed or expanded gradually rather than landscaped once and left untouched for years.
