Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is now part of everyday project planning and MMA is proud to supply Jakob Green Wall systems that support BNG aims on site. In urban environments where space is limited, living walls provide a practical way to introduce planting and contribute to biodiversity.
In built up areas, space for planting can be hard to come by. Fortunately, Green Walls offer a way to work around this. Instead of relying only on ground level planting, trellis systems installed on building facades enable greenery to be introduced. It is a simple idea, one which makes a noticeable difference when space is tight – helping boost BNG by adding habitat where otherwise there simply wouldn’t be any.
Green Walls do more than just enhance a building’s aesthetics too. With the right planting, they can support insects and pollinators, and help create habitats, especially when paired with bat and bee boxes.
The benefits of Living Walls don’t end there. Green Walls can help improve air quality by trapping dust and pollutants. They can take the edge off noise in busy areas, and they add a layer of insulation to buildings.
We are the UK supplier of Jakob Green Wall systems, designing, supplying, and installing living walls which are built to last and support natural, creative planting.
Evergreen plants, which stay green all year round, and deciduous varieties that change with the seasons can both be used to create different looks and benefits. We’ll help you make the most of them.
Green Walls are not a complete answer to BNG on their own. But they are a practical option, especially on sites where space is limited and every surface needs to do more. The plants in the living wall system introduce on-site gains to BNG, a preferred and effective way to add habitat value.
As BNG continues to shape how projects are delivered, approaches like this are likely to become more common. Not just because they look good, but also because they help solve a real problem.
