Vibrant and versatile vertical planting
INSTANT IMPACT
Up to 80% foliage cover at installation
LOW PLANT LOSS
Virtually no plant loss from transplant shock
FULL FOLIAGE FAST
Time to full foliage cover is much quicker than the usual 2-3 years
COST EFFICIENCY
Cost for critical first year vine’s leader training is minimal
MORE LIGHT & VENTILATION
Allows more natural light and air flow than a dense green wall
REDUCES STORMWATER RUN-OFF
Reduces volume and rate which decreases flash flooding
QUICK TO INSTALL
Minimal equipment required to install
EASY TO MAINTAIN
Less maintenance than modular green walls (though still recommended)
More and more architects, designers and developers are integrating green facades into Australian building projects. Just like their modular big brother the green wall , the green facade has the same eye-catching impact and delivers similar benefits. But rather than being grown in a network of pockets lined with growing medium, plants in a green façade are trained to climb up or around a trellis system. Yet as simple as it sounds to grow creepers up a wall, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to designing a green facade.
Designed to meet your expectations
As with any Fytogreen installation, your goals and expectations come first. These may be to soften architectural form, disguise an unattractive structure, create ambience and appeal or reap other greening benefits. We balance your needs with matters of site, structure and access, selecting plants that match the local climate, factoring in growth habits, sun, light and wind parameters, plus of course drainage and irrigation. As with any vertical garden project, a successful green facade system needs input from a range of different experts. At Fytogreen we have them all under one roof.
Combining Fytogreen’s unique media properties, purpose designed LLDPE planter boxes and Fytogreen’s horticultural experience, our hording units have been independently certified for engineering suitability.
Providing great foliage cover at installation instead of waiting up to 2-3 years, our pre-grown facade systems are cost effective, less prone to plant failure, independently certified for engineering suitability and have multiple attachment points. This makes placement safe, easy and reduces installation time.
Fytogreen pre grow the facades at our facility, making them cost effective and significantly less prone to plant failure. The pre-grown module design caters for easier transportation to site and are craned directly to the installed location and has multiple attachment points for permanent attachment to the building’s host facade.

Our standard green facades use tensile webnet, square mesh or cables to train climbing plants to cover buildings and walls.
Yet as simple as it sounds to grow creepers up a wall, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to designing a green facade, expertise on species selection is imperative for a successful green facade.
Available in both fire compliant Aluminium and LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) our planter boxes are flexible containers for green facade planting. Available in a vast range of sizes, colours and shapes to fit your aesthetic – plus they’re lightweight, weatherproof and virtually indestructible.
