Nature shouldn’t be a luxury.

The built environment has been recognised as a major contributor to the breakdown of biodiversity. Vertical Meadow creates a more positive urban environment, turning unsightly construction site hoardings, scaffolding and building facades into something remarkable. Our living walls will enhance your brand, support your CSR goals, and create an attractive community asset.

Speech

Our Vertical Meadow hoarding attracts lots of interest and positive comments from local residents and operatives on site, and it’s a small but rewarding part of the day for our project team in looking after it.

Senior Site Manager, Blenheim House Construction

Not only is Vertical Meadow in keeping with our ambitious environmental targets, but it also creates a much better outlook for our neighbours during the course of construction. Over the summer it has started to thrive, and we look forward to using it on future schemes.

Design Director, Grosvenor

We have assessed Vertical Meadow and consider it to be an innovative, flower rich and structurally diverse habitat which would make a valuable contribution to national biodiversity programmes.

Director, The Wildlife Trusts

Our office is directly opposite a Vertical Meadow and it’s a welcome change to see plants and flowers sprouting from the scaffolding rather than the usual ugly plastic cover. It’s a calming influence.

Community

Turn construction sites from a neighbourhood nuisance into a community asset. Vertical Meadow provides attractive visual screening, helps contain dust, and can reduce noise by up to 15dB. It creates something for the community to enjoy year-round, rather than something they seek to avoid or complain about. Permanent facade installations prolong the benefit.

Biodiversity

The Construction Industry Council recognises the built environment as a major contributor to the breakdown of biodiversity. Vertical Meadow uses species-rich native grass and wildflower seed mixes to provide a haven for pollinators, insects, birds and butterflies. Temporary installations ensure the continuity of biodiversity during construction, creating a bridge between pre-development and post-completion. Both permanent and temporary installations provide ‘stepping stones’ for nature across the city between larger existing green spaces.

Regulation
Regulation

Regulation

Construction site installations contribute to the Considerate Constructors Scheme which in turn contributes to additional BREEAM sustainability assessment points and also responds to green hoarding requirements that local authority Codes of Construction Practice increasingly mandate. Permanent installations contribute to Biodiversity Net Gain, Urban Greening Factors as now stipulated for planning permission.

Authentic nature-based interventions like Vertical Meadow help demonstrate Corporate Social Responsibility in a visible and meaningful way, sending a clear message to the public, the media and customers. Property values, rental rates and footfall have all been shown to increase when nature is included in the construction. And funders are increasingly focused on investments with strong green credentials.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Why living walls?

The Construction Industry Council has recognised the built environment as a major contributor to the breakdown of biodiversity, and in response targets are being enshrined in law. The wellbeing benefits of interacting with nature are well understood. Developers are increasingly keen to demonstrate they are doing good for their communities and capitalise on data showing that property values, rental rates, and footfall all increase when nature is included in the construction.  Living walls provide a way of making nature a prominent part of any construction site or development scheme, alongside living roofs and other planting. Vertical Meadow has been designed specifically to address this biodiversity crisis and support developer goals.

How does Vertical Meadow work?

All of our systems have a plug- and -play approach to enable plants to grow in place from seed. A dry product is delivered to site, connected to an irrigation system, wifi, power and water supplies, and then switched on to start the germination process. Over time the plants begin to grow and flower, and progress is monitored via simple inspection and maintenance apps.

What makes Vertical Meadow different to others on the market?

Vertical Meadow is unique in that plants are grown from seed in place. This makes the system more cost-effective, lighter and thinner, sustainable, easier to maintain and less logistically complex than alternatives as there is no need to bring live plants to site. We also use advanced remote and automated monitoring systems to ensure our walls grow as expected.

Does Vertical Meadow work in every location?

Living walls work best in the south, east, and west-facing locations with some access to sunlight, however, we’ve also developed seed mixes for north-facing and shaded locations. Plants grow faster in the spring and summer months, but our walls can be installed year-round. We review site drawings, make site visits, and discuss with you to make sure an appropriate wall size and location is selected to meet your expectations.

How is Vertical Meadow maintained? Will it go brown?

Our walls are monitored both via the site team as part of their daily site checks, and by us via remote monitoring apps. Aside from topping up nutrients once in a while, maintenance is limited to one or two annual cuts. Vertical Meadow uses native plants and a mix of annual and perennial species, and so just like meadows and parklands, it will brown a little in the winter months, before the celebration of regreening and flowering in spring and summer. 

How much does Vertical Meadow cost?

Growing plants from seed reduces cost, and we are confident that our solutions are the most cost-effective on the market. Vertical Meadow Wrap is similar in cost to high-quality printed hoardings and scaffolding wrap, and can similarly also be printed with branding or other messaging prior to coverage of the plants. We are designing Vertical Meadow Cladding to lower cost and to last longer than other permanent living wall products on the market. 

What do me and my team have to do?

The site team undertakes the main installation under close supervision from us and carries out simple daily checks using a proprietary inspection app. Site teams tend to find this to be an enjoyable part of their day. We undertake final commissioning, monitor the wall closely via remote inspection tools to ensure it’s growing as planned, and are on hand to provide support and answer questions every step of the way.
