In the world of landscaping, trends come and go, but few have resonated with the eco-conscious spirit of 2024 quite like the budding popularity of living walls, also known as green screens.
Living walls have emerged as a favored choice as urban areas become more congested, and people seek to integrate more greenery into their surroundings, a trend accentuated by the increasing number of remote workers in the UK. At Suregreen, we're thrilled to be part of this living wall movement, offering the tools and supplies needed to transform spaces into vibrant green sanctuaries. Choose from a variety of heights and plant species to tailor your living wall to your space.
Living walls, cherished for their durability, security, and greenery, find applications among homeowners, contractors, and councils alike. These low-maintenance screens are easy to install and outshine traditional fencing, maturing gracefully over time while providing habitats for wildlife. The benefits and uses of living walls include:
- Providing secure fencing for gardens and estates
- Enveloping large walls and buildings, enhancing visual appeal
- Serving as dividers in various settings
- Acting as visual screens or concealing eyesores
- Helping prevent property damage, such as graffiti
