Architectural metals serve a wide variety of purposes in landscape design and living spaces. These materials are excellent for supporting plant life, as they can create elevated surfaces and help establish hierarchy within a garden. Additionally, they provide expressive options for creating landscape sculptures and signage. Expanded mesh, perforated metal, and laser-cut metal can be used for both small features, such as artistic planter bed edging, and larger landscape design structures, such as pavilion sunshades.

Benefits of Using AMICO Materials for Equipment Screens

Durable: Metal products are durable enough to stand up to long-term outdoor exposure as well as abuse from lawn care activities and pedestrian traffic.

Expressive medium:  Laser-cut manufacturing and AMICO’s Picture PERFect manufacturing allow for direct messaging with words, graphics, and imagery, or through more abstract sculptural elements.  

Create Gathering Points: Create sunshades and pavilions where people can comfortably gather and enjoy your designed environment.

Plant Integration: Enhance plant life with architectural metal trellises that can help create elevation and support plant growth

Screens:  Create private moments by defining space, or conceal equipment with elegant metal screens

Guide Visitors: Create an open railing to help guide visitors to your space and keep them safe.

Landscape Design Project Case Study

Bois De Liesse Nature Park Landscape Walkway and Railing

The architects at Lemay have brilliantly developed the walkways and structures throughout the Bois De Liesse Nature Park, which provide stunning views and safe access to nature. AMICO’s flattened expanded mesh is utilized throughout the park for both safety barriers and walkways. The flattened expanded mesh’s high transparency and strength-to-weight ratio make it an ideal choice for this project because it allows for maximum views of nature, while ensuring safety.

Chevron Headquarters Equipment Screen

What do you do with an aging office campus surrounded by a concrete wasteland, adding no value to the owners or users? This brilliant design rehabilitated these concrete courtyards by adding large plant beds throughout the space. It made it additionally functional by creating these perforated metal pavilions that become a destination for office park tenants to have a vital third space to socialize and step away from their desks. The perforated metal provides an excellent surface for plant life to vine up and through, creating a natural garden feel.
