We’re continually hearing the myths that greenwalls are expensive, complicated to install and require a long grow in time. Check out why this is false.
We’re continually hearing the myths that greenwalls are expensive, complicated to install and require a long grow in time. We hope this story shows you there’s another way.
Our client and his team of five people moved into a cool upmarket office space in San Jose five years ago. The space is spread over two floors with the second floor set back from the windows, creating a 17’ high double volume space.
He decided that he wanted to install a GrowUp Greenwall from floor to ceiling to brighten the space and bring all the benefits of a greenwall to his staff. After many expensive quotes he found us online and we share the results with you below.

After contacting GrowUp Greenwalls in July 2018 and discussing his requirements, we produced a detailed CAD drawing along with their quote for the materials. Planted Places, a vertical garden designer and installer in the Bay Area, was recommended and appointed for the installation and GrowUp Greenwalls worked closely with them to develop the materials quote into a full project plan and turnkey solution.
A custom catch tank was designed by GrowUp Greenwalls to resolve the challenge created by the height of the wall and lack of water supply and shipped with the remaining equipment.

Upon receiving approval from the client in August, Planted Places prepared the detailed plant design and sourced the plants from a reputable wholesale nursery.
The GrowUp Greenwalls system is ideally suited to 6” plants and the selection of plants were all indoor tropicals suitable for the relatively low light environment. The plants were planned, sourced and delivered within two weeks, already planted in the GrowUp pots. No grow in time was needed.
On the day of installation, the team arrived on site and prepared the wall for hanging the system. Once the system was installed, which took the contractor only four hours working alone, the plants were hung on the wall.
By diligently following the planting plan the team ensured that the overall design was achieved as expected and the exact number of plants were purchased and used.
The result is a 6’ wide and 17’ high living wall installed in one day with minimal disruption to the client. The client was very excited and Planted Places, as the primary contractor, are very happy with the result and the wall is settling in beautifully.
"Our client couldn't be happier with the results. The workplace was transformed into a living jungle and using the GrowUp Greenwalls system allowed us to offer a competitive quote in the marketplace. Their system is highly flexible and configurable enabling us to be very creative with our designs for clients." - Christy Ross - Planted Places
