01 — What we deliver

Four services, one accountable team.

Each service has its own page with the detail, the numbers and the answers. Start wherever your project is.

Living wall design & consultation

We start with the building. Structure, weight loading, water, drainage, light and access shape the system before a plant is chosen. You receive a planting palette, an irrigation strategy and setting-out drawings a contractor can build to.

02 — How we work

A process built around your programme.

01

Enquiry & site review

Send drawings, a photograph or a rough size. We review access, orientation, water and structure and tell you quickly whether the wall is straightforward.

02

Design & specification

System selection, planting palette, irrigation and interface details, issued as drawings with a fixed quotation split into supply, installation and maintenance.

03

Installation

Frame, irrigation and planting installed by our own teams to the agreed sequence, then commissioned and tested before handover.

04

Maintenance & aftercare

Planned visits from month one, with reporting to you or your managing agent and replanting cycles that keep the wall dense.

03 — Who we work with

Specified by architects, trusted by property managers.

We work as an independent specialist alongside your design team rather than as the supplier of a single product, which is why our systems are specified on projects from private courtyards to hotel façades.

Architects & designers
Drawings, specifications, weight loadings and planting palettes issued in the formats your package needs.
Developers & contractors
Priced packages, programme certainty and a single accountable trade for frame, irrigation and planting.
Property & facilities managers
Maintenance contracts with condition reporting and a named contact for residential and commercial walls.
Landscapers & trade
System supply with technical support, so you can deliver the installation on your own contract.

04 — Also from us
