Bespoke Exteriors
Tailored exterior greenery and green walls for commercial precincts, courtyards and large-format retail. Designed around your architecture and environment to create inviting spaces with lasting impact.
Design ethos
Our approach to bespoke exteriors
Well-considered exterior greenery does more than improve curb appeal. It shapes how people move, pause and experience a space.
From activated laneways and retail frontages to multi-level precincts and shared courtyards, our planting strategies enhance visibility, soften architectural form and create defined moments within high-traffic environments. Integrated seating, screening and layered planting encourage dwell time while maintaining clear circulation. By strengthening first impressions and creating memorable outdoor environments, we help elevate tenant appeal and long-term asset value.
Custom exterior planting
From large-format retail precincts and multi-level commercial environments to hotel entrances, hospitality terraces and street frontages, we design and install exterior planting tailored to each setting.
Every scheme responds to architectural form, circulation and visibility, ensuring greenery feels integrated rather than applied. We consider scale, access and operational requirements from the outset, creating cohesive exterior environments that enhance arrival experiences, support tenant performance and strengthen overall amenity.
Whether operating at precinct scale or within intimate entry moments, our approach balances visual impact with long-term performance.
Exterior green walls
We design, install and maintain exterior green walls at significant scale, transforming prominent façades into living landmarks.
Vertical planting at height demands more than design expertise. It requires technical precision, specialist access capability and long-term stewardship. Our team includes certified abseilers trained in both rope access and advanced horticulture, ensuring the people maintaining your wall understand the plants, the system and the building.
We manage complex installations above high-traffic entrances and commercial precincts, where safety, traffic management and service coordination are critical. From structural and irrigation design through to ongoing maintenance at height, every detail is carefully considered.
We also deliver large-scale native planting walls, proving indigenous species can thrive vertically when designed and maintained correctly.

Performance & durability
Exterior planting must do more than look good. We specify climate-appropriate species selected to thrive in local conditions, ensuring long-term health and visual consistency.
Our custom planters and support systems are engineered for durability, with careful consideration given to drainage, irrigation, structural loading and access for maintenance. Every installation is designed to integrate seamlessly with the architecture while performing reliably in high-traffic, exposed environments.
The result is resilient, well-managed greenery that protects both aesthetic intent and long-term asset value.
