Ready to bring your walls to life?

Living wall tips from twenty years on site.

Our free guide shares the top tips for successful living walls, based on real questions from architects, designers and homeowners — from choosing the right surface and irrigation system to selecting plant varieties suited to your environment.

01 — What is inside

Plan and maintain a wall that is beautiful and sustainable.

Twenty years of site experience compressed into the decisions that actually determine whether a living wall thrives — written for people specifying one for the first time.

  1. 01Choosing the right surfaceWhat your substrate can carry, where the fixings go and when a wall needs a standing frame instead.
  2. 02Irrigation that does not failZoning, pressure, controllers and the maintenance habits that prevent the most common cause of wall failure.
  3. 03Plant selection by aspectMatching species to light, wind and orientation so the wall establishes quickly and stays dense.
  4. 04Light, indoorsHow much daylight an interior wall really needs, and when to integrate horticultural lighting.
  5. 05Maintenance from day oneWhat a first-year regime looks like, and the reporting to ask your contractor for.
  6. 06Budget and programmeWhere cost sits, what drives it, and the lead times that catch projects out.
