The article considers issues for increasing the stability and durability of spaces, as well as optimizing and expanding the range of industrial plantings by improving the esthetic properties of industrial plantations with the introduction of shrubs into the culture to enrich the visual environment. Shrubby vegetation in the industrial zones of the Akmola region is not rich in species composition. A review of the literature indicates that the number of ornamental breeds for practical use can be expanded at the expense of non-native shrub plants. To solve this problem work is underway to adapt new plant species, but the improvement of industrial zones with the necessary shrub vegetation creates many difficulties associated with unfavorable soil and climatic conditions of this region. The soils of the Akmola region are categorized as ordinary black soil as well as being characterized by a heavy mechanical composition, increased salinity, and low water. The content of humus in the soils of the Akmola region fluctuates, from low to medium (2.0-4.5%). The second problem in the nutrition of plants since there is a low content of mobile phosphorus in the soil which is the main element that affects the drought resistance and yield of plants. Deficits of mobile phosphorus is connected with the low content of organic matter and mineral parts of the soil. Therefore, plant species adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the Akmola region were selected with monitoring of the state of physical development of adaptable introduced shrub plants. As a result, introduced frost- and heat-resistant decorative forms resistant to soil and climatic conditions of the Akmola region have been introduced to landscaping projects. During the research, measures were analyzed and carried out aimed at improving their sustainability and care based on the introduction of new species. A comprehensive assessment of the degree of adaptation of growing shrubs introduced to the Akmola region was conducted based on the following three criteria: the nature of growth, generative development, and short-term resistance to winter hardiness in the conditions of natural growth. The types of introduced shrubs included the following: Spiraea media, Euonymus europaetts, Tamarix ramosissima, Caragana frutex and Berberis vulgaris. In order to determine the prospects for the use of introduced shrubs in industrial landscaping, a comprehensive assessment of their success in accordance with growing plants in industrial plantations was done. During the statistical processing of the collected data, the level of profitability and growth of the were obtained depending on the degree of adaptation of the species to the climatic conditions of the Akmola region in North Kazakhstan. As a result of this study, promising species of shrubs were identified to expand the range of plants for a wide and comprehensive introduction to the landscaping of industrial areas. In the case of the Akmola region, T. ramosissima, B. vulgaris and C.frutex are the 3 types of shrubs for growing in the garden that is recommended to use based on their high value for adaptability and success.
