Green Walls, or Vertical Gardens, are essential for urban projects with limited horizontal space, maximizing green density and contributing significantly to required environmental ratios.
- Green Area Ratio (GAR) Credit: Green walls provide instant, dense foliage coverage, allowing projects to meet local GAR compliance and zoning mandates without consuming valuable roof deck or ground-level footprint.
- Visual Impact & Air Quality: Creates striking architectural features that dramatically improve aesthetics, while the vegetation actively filters airborne pollutants and reduces carbon dioxide.
- Urban Heat Island Mitigation: Provides a powerful source of evapotranspiration on vertical facades, actively cooling the immediate microclimate and reducing heat gain on the building envelope.
- System Integrity: We use robust, modular panel systems that ensure maximum plant health and longevity. All installations include a mandatory, integrated drip irrigation system to manage vertical moisture flow efficiently.
Green Roof System Comparison: Choosing Your Performance Level
| System Characteristic | 4-Inch High-Performance Extensive | 6-Inch Deep Extensive / Semi-Intensive | 8-Inch Intensive Modular |
|---|---|---|---|
