Services
Green Roofs
We design and install custom green roof systems that combine environmental benefits with architectural functionality. Our solutions address water management, thermal insulation, and biodiversity enhancement while meeting structural requirements. With over 20,000 installations across Europe, we provide tailored systems for both new builds and retrofits.
Green Walls
Our vertical greening solutions transform building facades into living ecosystems. The systems incorporate irrigation management and plant selection tailored to microclimates. We provide both modular panel systems and direct-mounted installations for commercial properties seeking aesthetic and environmental improvements.
Landscaping
We create sustainable outdoor spaces that integrate with architectural environments. Our landscaping services include habitat creation, substrate specification, and drainage solutions. Projects range from small domestic gardens to large-scale commercial developments requiring specialist soil engineering.
Roof Level Landscapes
We develop functional roof gardens that balance aesthetic appeal with technical requirements. Our designs incorporate weight management, waterproofing integration, and plant selection suited to exposed conditions. Systems include modular planting trays and custom-built irrigation networks for long-term viability.
Urban Greening
We implement city-wide greening initiatives that reduce urban heat islands and improve air quality. Our solutions include biodiversity corridors, stormwater management systems, and habitat creation projects that align with municipal sustainability goals while meeting practical urban development needs.

Bit of a queue to get up, but fantastic views of the city - especially at sun set. The balcony was open when we went, adding to the experience. The bars and seating available make it a good place for a relaxing catch up drink. Have not tired the restaurants yet, although they look impressive.

Great views, free entry, plenty of seating, reasonable drink costs. Would go here every week if I could and watch the sun set. Even in the rain the views are stunning. (Outdoor viewing platform maybe closed if there is bad weather)

Great view of the city of London. Best time to visit is late afternoons (before 5pm) if you want to enjoy the sunset, and if you can get the booking for that hour. Entry is free, pre-booking online is required. Though there are restaurants/ pubs at the top they're bit expensive.

Free viewpoint located in the Bank/ Monument area. Stunning views of London skyline and some of the most emblematic skyscrapers. There are 2 bars to order all sorts of drinks: from cocktails, to coffee and tea. Beautifully decorated with exotic plants all over. The perfect combination of concrete and nature. It also has a French restaurant on the top with outstanding food and service. A DJ plays in the evening and makes the atmosphere mesmerising

The Sky Garden was lovely! The views from the top were stunning especially on a clear day. The plants are gorgeous and there is plenty to look at. The fact that the Sky Garden is free makes it even better. You do need to book a time slot ahead of time though as they are limited on the number of people they can let in at any one time. There is no time limit on how long you spend in the Sky Garden and they do have a bar/resturant where you can get something to eat or drink too.

You should absolutely go, as it offers a fantastic view of the city. Admission is free, although there is a security check upon entry. Despite Covid, there are no substantial restrictions. Registration can be taken on the spot, but it is also possible to register online and ahead of time (possibly recommended at peak times).
