Custom Indoor Living Wall

Indoor living walls are a great option when you have a large space available that you are looking to spruce up, whether it be in a home, an office space or a restaurant! Because they are indoors, the region you live in does not matter. The plants for indoor living walls do matter however, and you want to make sure to choose plants that are suitable for indoors. Take a look at our Indoor Plant Guide to see plants we recommend.

Indoor living walls can be installed professionally, or you can do it yourself. They also require upkeep, maintenance, and lighting so that is an important factor to consider when deciding on a living wall. 

Custom Outdoor Living Walls

Whether they be for the entrance of a building, to adding a beautiful statement to a backyard, outdoor living walls really take a space to the next level. Outdoor greenwalls are perfect for most climates, given that you choose the correct outdoor plants depending on where you are located. If you choose plants native to the area, your living wall will thrive.

These Greenwalls do require water and maintenance, so be sure to factor that into costs when planning your design! 

Pre-Built Systems

Pre-built systems are a great option if you have limited space, are on a budget, and don’t want to do any installation! They are perfect for brightening up a home or office! Additionally, they offer all the benefits of Greenwalls, they are just a smaller version that makes it easy on you.

These are also great for your client if they are wanting a greenwall, but don’t want to commit to a large custom one just yet. We have many pre-built systems to choose from.  

Succulent Living Walls

Succulent living walls are perfect if you live in a place that gets a lot of sun! Succulents love direct sunlight and bright light, so this is vital when looking at where to install your succulent wall. If you live in hot areas, this may be the best wall option for you!

Most clients have their succulent wall installed professionally, but it can also be done yourself with our system. These types of walls need less upkeep than regular living greenwalls, due to less watering, but maintenance is still needed! Want more information on succulents?

Moss Walls

Moss walls are great if you are looking for something that’s a little different than the norm, and require less money out of your budget! Moss walls are versatile in design, and with so many different types and colors, the design aspect is limitless, giving you free reign to plan what you want. Plus, since moss walls are preserved, no living, so there is no watering or maintenance required.

The only thing to consider with moss walls is that they are best suited for indoors only, so it is important to keep that in mind when making your decision.

Faux Walls

Faux walls are a perfect option if you want the living wall look, but a living wall is not possible! Not only do faux walls look real, they require no water or maintenance, therefore bringing down the overall costs. They are also a great option if you are thinking about getting a live greenwall, but don’t want to take the step just yet.
