Greening buildings is an innovative and sustainable solution to improve the urban climate, reduce environmental impacts and create attractive living spaces. Even interior spaces can be transformed with our wall-mounted systems.
Roof greening is an ecological and aesthetic way to extend the lifespan of buildings, improve energy efficiency and protect the environment. As specialists in roof greening, we implement customised, cost-conscious and punctual solutions for commercial clients across various types of buildings.

Our experienced team offers comprehensive consulting and planning services for vertical greening concepts. We analyse the site and property conditions, create tailor-made concepts, implement the project and are happy to take on the subsequent maintenance.
The guaranteed quality of our work complies with the quality and testing standards of the RAL Quality Association for Vertical Greening, ensuring our clients the highest level of safety and reliability.
We contribute to small-scale climate adaptation in cities by implementing various greening systems on building facades and in interior spaces. These include climbing plants with support structures made of rope, net or grid constructions, as well as wall-mounted greening systems in modular or freely selectable dimensions.
The irrigation systems are precisely tailored to the needs of the different greening types and can – according to customer requirements – be integrated into a continuous, year-round remote monitoring system.
Extensive roof greening is a low-maintenance, cost-effective solution with a thin substrate layer, ideal for resilient plants such as sedum and grasses. It improves air quality, reduces rainwater runoff and creates habitats for insects.
Intensive roof greening offers a thicker substrate layer and a diverse planting scheme that includes shrubs and trees. These roofs require regular maintenance but provide additional living and recreational space and improve the microclimate.
In addition, we create walkway and terrace areas as well as playgrounds on roof surfaces.
Retention roofs store rainwater and release it gradually to ease the burden on the sewage system and prevent flooding. They are essential for urban water management and help reduce the negative impacts of heavy rainfall.
Biodiversity roofs promote urban biodiversity through targeted plant selection and structural designs that create habitats for wildlife. They offer nesting opportunities for birds, provide homes for insects and support migratory species.
To ensure the lasting and sustainable success of the installed greening systems, we offer both maintenance and care services for wall greening and green roofs.
Our maintenance tasks include monitoring and inspecting technical installations such as automated irrigation systems and drainage facilities, as well as utilising various web-based remote monitoring tools.
Through our on-site care services, we ensure that the plant systems consistently maintain good vitality and optimal conditions for growth and development. This includes regular soil and site analyses, paired with a customised nutrient supply.
With years of experience, we offer tailor-made solutions that meet the individual requirements of our clients.
