01 — What we do

We build living wall systems that stay alive after the photographs are taken.

Engineered, not decorated

Lightweight aluminium construction, calibrated irrigation and substrate depth sized to the planting. Every living wall installation is specified against the building, not a catalogue.

Planted for its microclimate

Species are selected for the aspect, wind loading and light your wall actually gets, which is why our bespoke living wall solutions establish quickly and need less intervention.

Maintained for the long term

Scheduled living wall maintenance, remote irrigation monitoring and replanting cycles keep density and health consistent through year five and beyond.

03 — Our systems

Two systems, every scale of façade.

Living Louvres® architectural fins

Planted louvre fins that stand off the building line to shade glazing, break up hard elevations and green surfaces that cannot take a full wall build-up. Each fin is planted on both faces, so the greening reads from every approach.

RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival

With designer Adolfo Harrison we built a vertical garden that showed how a living wall can hold architecture and ecology in the same frame. Thousands walked through it across the festival week.

Living wall maintenance

The wall you sign off is the wall we keep alive.

Our own teams return on a planned schedule to feed, prune, check irrigation and replant. Access equipment, water testing and reporting are part of the contract, so a living wall keeps performing years after handover.

07 — Straight answers

Living wall questions we are asked most.

Full FAQ
How much does a living wall cost in London?

The aluminium system starts at £200 + VAT per square metre for Living Louvres® and £240 + VAT per square metre for Channel Pro®. Add roughly £25/m² for the drip irrigation kit, £23/m² for substrate and £180/m² for planting at 36 plants per square metre, then installation at one day per 5 m² within the M25. Our estimate generator prices this instantly, and we confirm the figure after a site inspection.

How often does a living wall need maintenance?

Interior walls are visited monthly, exterior walls four to eight times a year depending on species and exposure. Each living wall maintenance visit covers irrigation checks, feeding, pruning, and replacement of any failed plants so density stays even.

Can you supply the system if we install it ourselves?

Yes. As a living wall system supplier we sell Channel Pro® and Living Louvres® hardware, irrigation kits and substrate to landscapers and main contractors, with setting-out drawings and remote technical support through the build.

How long does installation take?

A domestic courtyard wall is usually installed in two to four days. Larger commercial living wall installations run one to three weeks on site, programmed around scaffold, façade and M&E sequencing.

Which areas of the UK do you cover?

We are based in Tooting, south London, and install across Greater London and the M25 weekly, with delivered projects in Bristol, the Home Counties and internationally. System supply ships UK-wide.
