AESTHETICS
Vertical gardens are living, breathing works of art. Each and every vertical garden we build are unique, size, form, texture and foliage. We design our greenwalls to blend into, compliment and evolve into there surroundings.

OZ'S LANDSCAPING
Greenwalls
OZ'S Landscaping can design, supply and create stunning vertical gardens (Greenwalls) large or small. The Modular design of our Greenwalls mean they are perfectly suited for small courtyards or large corporate foyers as well as covered alfresco areas.
The system allows total flexibility for inside or outside applications with simple hand watering options to fully automated, monitored irrigation systems.

LIVING AND BREATHING WALLS
Our walls are alive!, a living breathing ecosystem absorbing airborne pollutants and converting carbon dioxide into life giving oxygen. Our greenwalls can also help remove VOCS! Volatile Organic Compounds which are absorbed into the plant through the leaves.
Plants are notoriously adept at absorbing gases through pores on the surface of their leaves. It's this skill that facilitates photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy and carbon dioxide into chemical energy to fuel growth.
An indoor plant's ability to remove harmful VOCS from the air is an example of phytoremediation, which is the use of any plant, indoors or out to mitigate pollution in air, soil or water.

LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES
We can install any size and shape greenwall to almost any surface, the only limitation is your imagination
Our greenwalls can be installed on existing walls / structures and unlike other greenwalls available, all of the weight is transfered to the hard stand surface below the installed greenwall. Stainless steel location bolts are attached to the structure for location purposes only, not weight bearing.
Our freestanding walls can be used as temporary or permanent partions in offices, cafes, shopping centres, sales centres to name a few. The back of the greenwalls can fitted with whiteboards for offices, chalk boards for cafe signage and Signline panelling for advertisments / information purposes in shopping centres and sales offices.

GREENWALL BENEFITS
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Buildings that feature and promote access to vegetation have been documented as having a greater positive human health impact than those without. Studies have shown that visual access to natural settings leads to increased job satisfaction and productivity and post-operative recovery rates in medical facilities.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Air that has been circulated throughout a building with a strategically placed green wall (such as near an air intake valve) will be cleaner than that on an uncovered building. The presence of vegetation indoors will have the same effect. This processes remove airborne pollutants such as toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene, and other volatile organic compounds.
ACOUSTICS
The vegetated surface provided by strategic urban greenery such as green walls and roofs will block high frequency sounds, and when constructed with a substrate or growing medium support can also block low-frequency noises.
SAVE FLOOR SPACE
On average our vertical gardens are only 200mm wide, with such a small footprint adding a vertical garden to your living space, corporate office or commercial and hospitality setting doesnt have to cost you precious floor space!
URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT
With strategic placement of green walls, plants can create enough turbulence to break vertical airflow, which slows and cools down the air and reduces the urban heat island effect.
IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Green walls can help lower the air temperature around intake valves, which means HVAC units will require less energy to cool air before being circulated around a building.
BUILDING STRUCTURE PROTECTION
Green walls provide an additional layer of exterior insulation and thereby limit thermal fluctuations. Green walls protect exterior finishes and masonry from UV radiation and rain. They can also increase the seal or air tightness of doors, windows, and cladding by decreasing the effect of wind pressure.

GREENWALL CONFIGURATIONS
HAND WATER/MANUAL CARE
For those who prefer hands-on garden care, or for spaces without plumbed water supply, you’ll just need the basic kit – no tanks, pump or timer required. Just install the frame and the modules and you’re good to go. As you’ll be irrigating by hand, ensure there is sufficient drainage below the greenwall to absorb water run-off. This type of install is only suited to a small residental landscape.
CONNECTED TO TAP
More suited to smaller residental landscapes with nearby water supply, the greenwall is easily connected to a tap and battery operated timer for controlled irrigation. You will still need drainage below to catch the water run-off if installed on a hard stand surface, or if installed above a permiable surface a catch tray isnt required. With this simple system you won’t need to manually irrigate the greenwall to keep your plants thriving.
FULLY AUTOMATED
With water and power supply, there are several options available. The irrigation can be fully automated via a pump, seam welded aluminium holding tank, timer and autofill. This means you won’t need external drainage as the water is recycled through the system. Use this configuration when there is no way to collect run off, when extra nutrients need to flow through the system (e.g. for growing food) or to optimise water usage by recycling it through the system. The seam welded aluminium tank can also be used as a catch tank, directing water to a waste outlet when our Hydrawise-HC controller and solenoid are used.

GREENWALL FEATURES
MODULAR SYSTEM
Our hardware is designed to be packed flat, ensuring easy shipping. Plants are planted off-site in a clean environment, and the pots are then sent to the site for installation. The pots clip in and out with a very simple connector, giving complete design flexibility in an instant.
UNIQUE HEXAGON POTS
Our unique hexagonal pot shape allows for very compact planting and precision vertical reticulation. The vertical rails are made from aluminum with individual pot clip sockets to simplify installation, maintenance and vertical alignment. Pot design allows each plant to be potted and grown off site to maturity weeks prior which delivers a fully flushed green wall for the client at installation.
AUTOMATED SYSTEM
Our basic system is controlled by a 24v dc pump and a drip-irrigation system. The water is collected in the tanks and redistributed throughout the vertical garden. For a more automated system we use wifi based controllers with flow meters, leak detection and automatic fertilisation, all controlled via an app. on your smart phone.
SUITABLE FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR
Our system is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Light, environment and weight must be considered when we design and manufacture our vertical garden systems.
