Requirements to get a green wall installed in your office or property

Before you decide to book our green wall system installation in London, you need to make sure that your property is actually ready for the service. Here is what you need to do to prepare your home or commercial facility for your vertical garden fitting:

Make sure that you have a water source nearby - plants need water. You have to have a water feed near the area. We’ll need it to install the irrigation system.

An electric connection is a must - the technicians need to have a 240v electrical supply in close proximity to the place of the irrigation system.

The area needs to have proper drainage - if you don’t plan on having a recirculating system installed, you must have a drainage outlet at the base of the wall on which you plan to have your vertical garden installed.

Have enough space for plant irrigation - the exact measurements vary according to the size of the wall and can be tailored to work with the area that you have available. On average, the needed space for an automated system is 1200mm x 900mm floorspace, 1500mm against a wall.

Get auxiliary lighting installed - make sure that the lights are placed at the correct distance - 1500 lux @ 600mm from the wall is the basic requirement. The gardening professionals will also inspect the installed lighting to confirm that it’s installed at the right place.

Living Wall Installation Service in a London property

What to expect from our green wall installation in London

1. Your living wall design comes first - a big part of our service is to create a vertical garden design that will fit the vision you have for your outdoor or indoor space. Once we’ve got the concept down, the technicians will come up with a layout for the structural support framework, which will be tailored to the space.

2. Delivery of all the necessary components for the service - the technicians will bring everything that the living wall project requires, including the type of plant life you want on display. This means that you’ll get to enjoy your new, beautiful outdoor or indoor green addition right after the service is completed.

3. Installation of the vertical garden system - the professionals will install your vertical garden fast. They will fix it to a steel or timber subframe, for maximum safety, and hang it from a steel fixing rail. The plant varieties you’ve chosen will be planted on-site, which will significantly minimise the lead times.

4. A regular maintenance schedule can be created for you - we also offer all of our clients full green wall maintenance services, which they can request additionally. Within a maintenance session, you can expect the professional to inspect the irrigation system, make sure that it’s working properly, check the plant feed systems, and trim and weed the foliage. All this - in a schedule that best fits your lifestyle.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What are the benefits of having a living wall?

A: Living walls boost property aesthetics, improve air quality, provide insulation, reduce noise pollution, and can positively impact mental health. They’re a great way to bring greenery into limited or urban spaces.

Q: What’s the difference between a living wall and a green facade?

A: Living walls use structural panels with pre-planted vegetation, while green facades involve climbing plants growing up a wall. Living walls offer more control over plant selection and layout.

Q: Can living walls reduce noise?

A: Yes, plants absorb and deflect sound. A well-designed green wall can reduce both indoor and outdoor noise pollution.

Q: How much does it cost to install a living wall in London?

A: The cost of installing a living wall depends on factors such as the wall’s size, location (indoor or outdoor), accessibility, plant selection, and whether you need a maintenance package or irrigation system. We offer tailored quotes based on your space and requirements. Send us photos or book a survey for an accurate estimate.

Q: Do I need planning permission for a living wall?

A: In most residential cases, you won’t need planning permission, especially for indoor installations. However, for larger exterior systems or commercial properties, it’s best to consult your local council.

Q: Can a living wall be installed on any surface?

A: Most stable and structurally sound walls can support a living wall, especially when paired with an appropriate subframe. We assess surface suitability during your initial consultation.

Q: Can I have a living wall installed indoors?

A: Of course! The trained professionals can mount the plant frame to any wall you show them. Note that you still have to follow the installation requirements we mentioned.

Q: Can outdoor vertical gardens survive all climate conditions?

A: Generally, the plants we recommend for outdoor living walls are the ones that fit the specific climate of the area. The majority of the planted greenery will stay dormant during the winter months but, if you like, we can always provide you with an evergreen alternative.

Q: How long does it take to install a living wall?

A: Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the system, but smaller walls can often be completed in a day, while larger or custom projects may take longer.

Q: What kind of plants are used in a vertical garden?

A: We select plants based on your location (indoor/outdoor), lighting, and design goals. Popular choices include ferns, succulents, grasses, herbs, and flowering species.

Q: Are living walls pet-friendly?

A: Yes, we can recommend non-toxic, pet-safe plant options if your living wall is in a home with cats, dogs, or other animals.

Q: Can I grow herbs or vegetables in a living wall?

A: Absolutely! Living walls can be designed with edible plants such as basil, mint, lettuce, or strawberries, perfect for kitchen gardens or balconies.

Q: Is an irrigation system included?

A: Yes, we install a fully automated irrigation system to ensure your living wall stays healthy. You just need a nearby water and power supply.

Q: Can you help design the layout of the living wall?

A: Yes, our experts will work with you to design a vertical garden that suits your space, light conditions, and aesthetic preferences.

Q: Do living walls need much maintenance?

A: Living walls do require regular maintenance, including checking irrigation, pruning, and replacing plants. We offer optional maintenance plans tailored to your schedule and plant selection.

Q: Can you help me with the maintenance of my vertical garden?

A: Of course, we can! We offer full maintenance services, performed by the same experienced gardening professionals that installed your vertical garden. The experts will make sure that your irrigation and feeding system is up and running and will keep your plants in good shape.

Q: Can I have artificial greenery or do you install artificial green walls too?

Yes, we can install an artificial green wall for you. While you won’t experience the same benefits as you would with real vegetation, artificial green walls are a low-maintenance alternative ideal for areas with limited light or access.

Q: What other indoor or outdoor services can you offer?

A: You can benefit from our expert window box installation. We can send professionals to take care of a wide range of outdoor repairs, fence installations and repairs, patio cleaning or all kinds of decking services.
