Green Walls

As urban footprints and gardens become more compact, utilising vertical surfaces is a smart way to save on space and create a striking visual impact that rivals your competitors.

Different types of green walls

Living Green Walls

These are high-impact vertical gardens featuring a variety of live green wall plants. They are ideal for improving indoor air quality and boosting employee well-being through natural oxygen production and humidity regulation.

Artificial Green Walls

A cost-effective and low-maintenance alternative, artificial walls provide a striking visual appeal in areas with limited light. They use high-quality, botanically accurate replicas to mimic the look of a thriving plant wall year-round.

Moss Walls

Utilising preserved moss, these installations are incredibly low-maintenance and highly versatile. They are often used for branding or artistic features, as the moss can be dyed and shaped into intricate, vibrant patterns.

Green Wall Dividers

These mobile or fixed units act as natural screens to divide open-plan offices. By using planters on the wall or modular frames, they provide privacy and noise reduction while maintaining a connection to nature.

Interior Wall Displays

Often referred to as 'living pictures,' these compact artificial planters or live displays feature greenery tucked inside a frame. They are perfect for introducing biophilic design into smaller offices and meeting rooms where floor space is at a premium.

Exterior Wall Displays

For exterior green walls, these can eliminate a blank space and turn an overlooked outdoor area into a focal point. Our interior landscaping expertise extends to these outdoor frames, providing a durable and attractive solution for any wall.

What is a green wall?

Green walls, also known as plant walls or living walls, are plants placed on a wall (that would otherwise be wasted space) to create a beautiful, green vertical statement. They transform restricted areas into biophilic features that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, bringing nature indoors and making the most of every available surface.

Why choose a plant wall for your business?

A green wall is a brilliant alternative to an empty wall or traditional artwork. Think of it as living art or biophilic design that doesn't just look good, but feels good too.

Noise Level Reduction

Along motorways and busy streets, plants have always been chosen not just to make the area look a bit greener, but also to help with noise reduction. Green walls block high-frequency noise with foliage and reduce low-frequency noise through their supporting structures, creating a noticeably quieter environment.

Reduce Running Costs

Living green walls mitigate urban heat island effects by reflecting rather than storing solar energy. Both interior and exterior plant wall installations actively cool the surrounding air through evapotranspiration, and by utilising planters on the wall to create these vertical landscapes, businesses can naturally regulate building temperatures and reduce the reliance on energy-intensive cooling systems.

Improved Air Quality

A living wall acts as a powerful natural filter. By absorbing harmful gases and releasing fresh oxygen, a professionally designed plant wall replenishes the air, reducing instances of fatigue and respiratory issues while creating a significantly healthier, more breathable environment.

Why is choosing a living green wall a great choice for your business?

As global attention shifts towards environmental responsibility, corporate sustainability practices are under greater scrutiny than ever. Living green walls function as powerful corporate ESG tools, offering enhanced air filtration, significant noise reduction, and a positive contribution to a company's carbon footprint. By integrating living walls into your workspace, you demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship while creating a healthier, more productive environment for your team.

Frequently Asked Questions about Green Walls

Maintenance for living walls is high, as regular watering, pruning, and feeding are required to ensure the plants remain at their peak. The specific maintenance required depends on the size of the wall, the plant species chosen, and its location. Urban Planters offers professional maintenance services to keep your green wall looking its best year-round.

Selecting the right plant for the right space is vital to ensure a healthy and vibrant plant. While hardy species like the snake plant work well in low-light environments, other plants may need more light to thrive. Our team will advise on the most suitable plant species for your specific light conditions.

A skilled interior designer at Urban Planters has years of experience with decorating and installing live walls. Partnering with professional plant maintenance experts ensures a consistently stunning display and longevity that DIY installations simply cannot match.

The cost for each green wall installation varies, as it depends on a few key details, such as the size of the project, the specific plant species chosen, and the type of irrigation system required. Please contact us for a bespoke quote tailored to your requirements.

For larger walls, we typically use a built-in irrigation system to keep the plants healthy. If your green wall is on the smaller side — less than 2 metres in height and width — it is possible to water it by hand, but using an automated irrigation system is always the most efficient way to ensure the plants get exactly what they need.
