Living walls in San Diego
Green walls for lobbies, offices, hotels and restaurants: designed for your wall, installed by our team and kept alive by the same team after.

That is what living wall maintenance is. We already look after living walls for clients, whether we built them or someone else did.
A living wall is not a big houseplant
On a wall, the top and the bottom live in two different climates. Water runs down and light fades toward the floor.
Brighter and drier. Plants that forgive a dry spell.
Where the mistakes start: it looks like the whole wall. Steady growers.
Dimmer and wetter. Plants that tolerate low light and damp roots.
These are typical matches; the real choice depends on the light measured on site. And a wall has almost no buffer: a missed day shows fast, salts build up, and pests hide in dense planting.
When a living wall is not the right choice
A wall left alone fails fast, and a failing wall shows.
Plain drywall needs a waterproof layer behind it.
Windowless walls need a lighting plan built in.
Big humidity swings are hard on a wall and can bring mold.
What about moss?
Preserved moss walls are a different product: moss that no longer grows and needs no water or light. Living moss does not usually survive indoors.
Design and installation
We start with a walkthrough of the wall and the light it gets, then draw up the planting for you to approve before anything is ordered. Our team installs it around your schedule and stays on to look after it.
Where a living wall works
Living wall=Green wall=Plant wall=Vertical garden
Different names for the same thing: plants growing on a vertical surface, cared for as one system.
Every wall is priced by the wall
There is no price list, because no two walls are alike. Size, plants, watering, the wall itself and the care it needs all count. We quote after we see the space.
