Living Plant Walls
Our award-winning systems have been tried and tested for every scale and application around the world. First, we work to understand our clients’ needs. Only then do we recommend the living wall technologies most appropriate for their budget and design goals.
We specialize in custom-engineered living wall systems designed to meet the highest standards of performance, aesthetics, and sustainability. Unlike plantscapers or hobbyist installers using off-the-shelf kits, our green wall solutions are fully integrated, professionally designed, and tailored to your project’s architectural and environmental needs.
As a true design-build-maintaince company, we provide end-to-end services—from concept to construction to long-term maintenance plans. Our team delivers comprehensive shop drawings for CD set coordination, detailed MEP specifications, and curated plant palettes aligned with the brand, biophilic goals, and site conditions (light, airflow, exposure, etc.) of our clients.
Each system is engineered for maximum efficiency and longevity, with hydroponic or felt-based options that require only monthly maintenance—a major cost-saving advantage over other green walls that demand weekly or bi-weekly care. Our irrigation systems, substrates, and mounting assemblies are built for durability, making our walls thrive year-round with minimal intervention.

The irrigation system is truly ‘smart.’ It collects data from built-in moisture sensors. Web-enabled, it forecasts freezing weather temps to automatically close/winterize the system or open up and water the plants. No other system on the market does this.

Living Walls FAQ
-
A living wall (also known as a living plant wall, biophilia wall, green wall, or vertical garden) is a vegetative system installed in a vertical orientation mounted to a facade or free-standing structure, usually with an automated irrigation system incorporated. Living walls can be designed for interior or exterior applications.
-
Living walls provide environmental, economic, and psychological benefits including: natural air purification and cooling, noise muffling and sound absorption, bolstering of company branding, increased productivity and creativity, improved feelings of health and well being, boosted occupant immunity and reduced stress levels, and potential to earn multiple credits in building rating systems like LEED and the WELL Building Standard.
-
Living walls require routine maintenance, including watering, pruning, and fertilizing as well as adjusting programs for irrigation and lighting where applicable.Typically, this is a monthly occurrence.
-
Yes! We can adhere our waterproof systems to studs, brick, drywalls, wood, stucco, and even no wall. We can even build our own free-standing solution for your space (such as a living wall divider).
-
For an exterior living wall, we opt for perennials and hardy species that are native to the region and support biodiversity.
For an interior living wall, we select from a variety of tropical foliage with varying light and water requirements.
-
Lightweight! Most of our technologies range anywhere from 8-10 lbs/sq.ft, fully saturated.
-
When designed correctly, Living Walls are eligible for a range of credits: WELL points by improving the health and wellness of occupants and LEED credits for energy efficiency and stormwater management, but again only if designed correctly.

The cost of installing a living wall can vary widely depending on factors such as scale, system specified, plant palette design, and the complexity of the installation. However, industry average is anywhere from $165-$265/sf.
-
Every manufacturer has a different method, however good practice is to first install a barrier of some kind on the host wall to create an air gap. After that, necessary waterproofing methods will need to be applied before the system is installed. Most irrigation designs feature conduits that run within the wall system to avoid splashing or leaks.
