- How often should a green wall be maintained?
- Most green walls are best maintained every four to eight weeks, with the exact frequency set by the planting, the season, and whether the wall is interior or exterior. A regular schedule catches small issues early and keeps the wall full and even, which is far cheaper than recovering a wall that has been left to decline.
- Can you maintain a green wall installed by another company?
- Yes. We frequently take over walls built by other contractors. We begin with an inspection of the structure, irrigation, growing medium, and planting, address any existing problems, and then put the wall onto a regular maintenance schedule.
- How do you maintain a wall that is high up on a building?
- We use abseil-assisted rope access, working from the rooftop to reach the whole wall without scaffolding or powered access platforms. This keeps maintenance lightweight, avoids closing ground-level space, and keeps the cost of regular upkeep manageable.
- What is included in a maintenance visit?
- A typical visit covers pruning, replanting any gaps, inspecting and adjusting the irrigation, feeding and nutrient management, and checking for pests and disease. We also review how each part of the wall is performing and adjust the planting where a particular area is consistently struggling.
- Why is my green wall developing bare or yellowing patches?
- Bare or yellowing patches usually point to uneven watering, nutrient depletion in the growing medium, or a section that does not suit the light or exposure in that position. Our maintenance addresses all three: balancing the irrigation, feeding on a proper schedule, and adjusting the species mix where needed.
- Do you handle pest and disease problems?
- Yes. We inspect for pests and disease on every visit and treat problems early while they are still contained. Acting quickly is important because the close conditions of vertical planting let problems spread fast if they are left unchecked.
