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.

What people say
Why our living walls? Helping nature, communities and your reputation to thrive
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
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.
Brand
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.
