Vertical Garden Maintenance

Green walls die from the top down, because that's the part nobody can reach.

Vertical gardens and façade planters get installed because a development consent required them, and then they become somebody's ongoing problem. 

The lower two metres stay presentable. Above that, irrigation blocks, plants die back, and the wall the building was approved on starts looking like a maintenance failure from the street.

Access is the whole issue. We reach the full height by rope, so the top of the wall gets the same attention as the bottom.

What we maintain 

Living walls and green façades — modular panel systems, felt pocket systems and climbing frameworks

Elevated and façade planters — planter boxes on ledges, balconies and podium edges with no safe standing access

Irrigation checks — lines flushed, drippers cleared, leaks and blockages identified and reported

Pruning and replanting — growth trimmed back off glass and windows, dead stock removed and replaced like-for-like

Feeding and weeding — nutrient application appropriate to the system, weeds and self-seeded growth removed
