FAQs

  • What is a Living Wall and how is it beneficial?

    A living wall is a vertical garden with plants arranged in an artistic manner. Besides providing a unique and natural aesthetic, studies have shown that humans perform better mentally when being in connected with nature. Even a brief interaction can have a positive mental effect for hours, including increased alertness and patience, as well as improved attitude and memory.

  • What does maintenance look like?

    Sit back and relax! Our technicians visit our living walls on a bi-weekly basis to maintain and care for them. At these visits, our team trims and replaces plants as needed, applies fertilizer, and cleans the plants of the dust they have filtered out of the air. Please contact us with questions or to request specialized service.

  • How does the Living Wall water itself?

    Our living walls feature an automated irrigation system, allowing the plants to receive a regular supply of water and nutrients. We integrate our irrigation system into the plumbing of the building. The only technical requirements are access to a water line and drain. Water is directed into our water treatment area where nutrients are added. From there, water is piped to the living wall location where it feeds the plants on a cycle.

  • How long does a Living Wall last?

    Our living walls are designed to last for decades. Plants will need to be replaced as necessary, but with proper maintenance, the living wall system can enhance the value of buildings and communities for many years to come.

  • How much does a Living Wall system cost?
