Frequently Asked Questions

Façade greening is the art of transforming ordinary building exteriors into living, breathing vertical gardens. More than just architectural adornment, these verdant walls serve as nature's cloak for urban structures—cleansing the air, reducing energy costs, and creating an urban oasis amid concrete landscapes. Our clients choose this botanical metamorphosis not only for its visual poetry but also for its tangible benefits: improved air quality, natural insulation, biodiversity support, and property value enhancement.

Most structures can embrace nature's vertical embrace, though each building tells its own story. We assess your façade's unique characteristics—structural integrity, material composition, sun exposure, and microclimate—to determine suitability. Even buildings with challenging conditions often have greenery possibilities through our innovative mounting systems and plant selection expertise. Our initial consultation includes a comprehensive assessment to craft the perfect symphony between your architecture and botanical elements.

Our living walls are ecological powerhouses, offering a cascade of environmental benefits. They act as natural air purifiers, capturing carbon dioxide and filtering pollutants while releasing life-giving oxygen. These verdant shields reduce the urban heat island effect, decreasing ambient temperatures by up to 5°C around your building. They serve as natural insulation, reducing energy consumption by up to 30% through thermal regulation. Additionally, they create biodiversity hotspots in urban deserts, providing sanctuary for beneficial insects, birds, and microorganisms that contribute to healthier urban ecosystems.

We orchestrate a diverse portfolio of façade greening systems, each with its own ecological poetry. Our collection includes traditional climbing systems with soil-rooted plants ascending specialized supports; modular panel systems housing pre-vegetated units for instant impact; hydroponic living walls with soilless nutrition delivery; and custom hybrid solutions blending multiple approaches. Each system is selected based on your building's architectural narrative, regional climate, maintenance capacity, and aesthetic vision. Our botanical architects will guide you through selecting the perfect system that harmonizes with your architectural canvas.

The timeline for transforming your façade varies with each project's canvas size and complexity. Typically, our botanical installations unfold over 2-8 weeks, with smaller projects (under 50m²) completed in 2-3 weeks and larger, more intricate compositions requiring 4-8 weeks. This timeframe encompasses structural preparation, irrigation system integration, and meticulous planting. Weather conditions may occasionally rewrite our schedule, but our dedicated artisans work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring every element is perfectly placed for long-term flourishing.

Absolutely. We navigate the regulatory landscape with expertise, handling all necessary permissions for your vertical garden. Our team orchestrates the entire compliance journey—from initial assessments and documentation preparation to liaising with local authorities and securing final approvals. We're intimately familiar with building codes, historical preservation requirements, and environmental regulations across various municipalities. This comprehensive approach ensures your green façade not only thrives botanically but stands on solid regulatory ground, allowing you to focus on the transformation while we manage the bureaucratic elements.

Our living walls require thoughtful stewardship, with maintenance requirements choreographed to each system's complexity. Most installations benefit from 6-12 visits annually, with more frequent attention during establishment and growing seasons. Our maintenance artisans perform seasonal pruning, nutrient management, irrigation system fine-tuning, plant health assessments, and occasional replacements. While some simpler climbing systems might need just quarterly care, more intricate living walls with diverse species require monthly nurturing. We offer customized maintenance contracts tailored to your specific green façade, ensuring it remains a thriving, ever-evolving masterpiece.

When properly designed and installed, our green façades protect rather than harm your building. Unlike outdated approaches, our contemporary systems incorporate protective barriers, strategic mounting techniques, and carefully selected plant species that won't compromise structural integrity. We utilize specialized support systems that create space between vegetation and walls, preventing moisture accumulation. In fact, properly executed green façades actually shield building surfaces from damaging UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and pollutants—potentially extending façade lifespans. Each installation includes waterproofing considerations and drainage solutions to ensure your building remains structurally sound beneath its living tapestry.

Our vertical gardens are composed with winter resilience in mind, utilizing climate-appropriate species that embrace seasonal rhythms. For colder regions, we curate plant palettes featuring cold-hardy evergreens, native perennials with strong dormancy capabilities, and strategically placed deciduous species that create winter textural interest. Our installation designs incorporate micro-climate considerations, thermal buffering, and occasionally, minimal protection systems for extreme conditions. While some seasonal transformation is natural—and often quite beautiful—our irrigation systems feature freeze protection, and our maintenance programs include specialized winter care protocols to ensure your living façade emerges vibrant when spring returns.

Façade greening is an investment in living architecture, with costs reflecting the unique nature of each project. Simple climbing systems typically range from $150-300 per square meter, while sophisticated modular or hydroponic living walls may range from $600-1,200 per square meter. These figures encompass design, materials, plants, installation, and initial maintenance. Variables influencing your investment include system complexity, plant selection, façade accessibility, irrigation requirements, and project scale. We provide detailed, transparent quotations following initial consultations, and can develop phased approaches to accommodate various budgets while still achieving transformative results.

Many clients discover that greening their façades comes with financial rewards beyond aesthetics. Numerous municipalities offer green infrastructure incentives, including tax abatements, reduced permit fees, density bonuses, and direct grants for projects that enhance urban environments. Additionally, utility companies frequently provide rebates for installations that improve energy efficiency. Green certification programs like LEED award valuable points for living walls. Our team stays current with available incentives in your region and assists with application processes, potentially reducing your net investment by 10-30%. We'll help you navigate these opportunities as part of our comprehensive service.

Living façades deliver compelling returns on multiple fronts. Economically, clients typically see energy savings of 15-30% through improved thermal performance, increased property values of 7-15%, and for commercial properties, higher occupancy rates and rental premiums. Beyond direct financial metrics, green façades enhance brand value through environmental leadership, improve employee productivity and wellbeing (reducing absenteeism by up to 15%), and create distinctive visual identities that enhance marketing potential. While initial investment may exceed traditional façade treatments, the combined economic, environmental, and social returns create positive ROI scenarios typically materializing within 5-8 years, with benefits continuing throughout the installation's lifetime.

Breathing Life into Urban Spaces

At Jozagio, we don't just hang plants on walls—we orchestrate vertical symphonies of nature that transform concrete canvases into living masterpieces. Since our inception, we've been challenging the notion that urban environments must remain cold, sterile monoliths of glass and stone.

Our journey began with a simple question: what if buildings could breathe? What if facades could filter air, host biodiversity, and soothe the urban soul? This curiosity blossomed into a pioneering approach to facade greening that marries botanical artistry with architectural precision.

Our Mission

To rewrite the urban narrative—one verdant facade at a time—creating buildings that don't just house life but actively participate in it. We envision cities where architecture and nature dance in perfect harmony, supporting ecological resilience while enhancing human wellbeing.
