Vertical green
Green walls, vegetal facades and roof gardens. Giardini Fioriti bring greenery where there is no space on the ground, for homes, hotels, restaurants and offices.
Greenery conquers vertical surfaces
Vertical green is the most innovative frontier of landscape design. Our vegetal walls turn anonymous walls into lush gardens, improving aesthetics, air quality and the thermal insulation of buildings. We design bespoke systems for every context: from private residences to luxury hotels, from restaurants to commercial spaces.
We use the latest modular systems with lightweight substrates, integrated automatic irrigation and plant selection specific to each exposure. Indoor green walls purify the air of indoor environments and create a natural, relaxing atmosphere. Outdoor walls provide thermal insulation, reducing energy costs by up to 30%, and contribute to urban biodiversity.
Green roofs complete our offer: from extensive systems with sedum and succulents, ideal for lightweight, low-maintenance roofs, to intensive roofs with lawns, shrubs and even small trees, creating true roof gardens. Each installation complies with structural regulations and includes certified waterproofing, drainage and an anti-root system.
Vertical green solutions in Lugano and Ticino
Lugano, with its dense urban fabric and mild climate, is the ideal context for vertical green. The rarely extreme winter temperatures of Canton Ticino allow the use of a wide botanical palette, including evergreen species that ensure plant cover all year round. We design tailored solutions for buildings in the historic centre, new constructions and urban regeneration projects in the region.
In addition to the aesthetic impact, our vertical green installations make a concrete contribution to urban sustainability. They improve thermal insulation, reducing air-conditioning costs, absorb CO2 and fine particulate matter, attenuate noise and counter the heat-island effect typical of urban areas. For commercial and hospitality buildings in Lugano, a green wall is also a distinctive element that enhances brand image.

Frequently asked questions about vertical green
How much does a green wall cost in Ticino?
The cost varies according to the size, the chosen system (modular or felt-based) and the plant selection. We offer a free site visit to assess feasibility and provide a tailored quote.
Can a green wall be installed indoors?
Yes, we create indoor green walls with integrated LED lighting and automatic irrigation. They are ideal for offices, restaurants, hotels and private homes, and help purify indoor air.
What maintenance does a green roof require?
An extensive green roof (with sedum) requires 1-2 interventions per year. An intensive roof (roof garden) requires regular maintenance similar to a traditional garden. We offer dedicated maintenance contracts.
Can my building support a green roof?
We carry out a preliminary structural assessment in cooperation with qualified engineers. An extensive green roof weighs about 60-150 kg/m² when saturated, while an intensive one can reach 300-500 kg/m².
Are there tax advantages in Switzerland for green roofs?
In Switzerland, green roofs may benefit from tax deductions as energy-saving investments. Several Ticino municipalities also offer incentives for the renaturation of urban spaces. We assist with the necessary documentation.
How long does a green wall last?
With correct maintenance, a well-designed green wall has a 10-15 year lifespan for the structural system. Plants are replaced periodically as needed, keeping the appearance always lush.
