The first step in the green wall process is to view the proposed space where the green wall is to be located and identify the characteristics of the area in which the plants will need to live including natural light, temperature and how the space is used by others. 

 

The use of a space plays an important role in the style of plants we choose, for example, if we were installing a green wall in a narrow corridor we would select plants that grow relatively close to the wall so as not to impede on the space too much. Alternatively, in a dining area or larger open space we can create a more dramatic look with plants that protrude out from the wall and into the surrounding space.

 

Upon request, we can provide an artist’s impression on what the green wall may look like in the selected space. 

 

Once the plant species have been chosen, we plant out the growing panels with juvenile plant stock and get them established into the plant pockets in a controlled environment within our hothouse.

 

While the plants are growing, we construct the steel frame which will act not only as a frame for the entire wall but also as the water catchment for the irrigation process. The irrigation requirement is determined by the size of the wall and all components are ordered ready for install.

 

Once the plants are established and the frame is complete, we travel to site to start the installation process. This process involves hanging the frame, fitting off each individual plant panel, and installation of the irrigation system. The automated irrigation timer is set and the green wall is complete.
