F.A.Q. Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some common questions about Living-Walls and Vertical Gardens.
What do Living-Walls cost?
There are a lot of variables to consider be it indoor or outdoor, edible or ornamental plants. Generally speaking installed system cost approximately $130 - $250 per square foot depending on the quality of the system and the company you work with.
Are Living-Walls worth it?
Wow. There are innumerable benefits, but here are just a few of our favorites:
Improved Air Quality- Living walls can filter pollutants and toxins from the air, improving indoor air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
Thermal Insulation- Green walls act as natural insulators, helping to regulate indoor temperatures. This can reduce heating and cooling costs by providing an extra layer of insulation.
Noise Reduction- The plants and their growing medium can help absorb and deflect sound, making living walls effective at reducing noise pollution in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Enhanced Aesthetics- Living walls provide a visually appealing and dynamic element to any space. They can transform dull walls into vibrant, living art pieces, enhancing the overall design and ambiance.
Biophilic Design Benefits- Incorporating living walls into spaces aligns with biophilic design principles, which emphasize the human connection to nature. This can improve occupants' well-being, reducing stress and increasing productivity.
Increased Property Value- A well-maintained living wall can enhance the appeal and value of a property. It's a unique selling point that differentiates a property from others in the market.
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Support- Living walls can support local biodiversity by providing habitats for insects and birds, contributing to the ecological health of urban environments.
Sustainability and Environmental Impact- By integrating plants into urban settings, living walls contribute to sustainable building practices, reducing the overall carbon footprint and promoting environmental stewardship.
Brand Image and Corporate Responsibility- For businesses, living walls can enhance corporate image by demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. This can resonate positively with clients, customers, and employees.
Health and Wellness- Exposure to plants and greenery has been shown to improve mental health and well-being. Living walls can create a more pleasant and healthier environment for occupants.
Are Living-Walls high maintenance?
Depending on what system you deploy there will be different maintenance requirements. However, you can expect plants to grow and in so doing they will need trimming accordingly. It is important to keep a close eye on the soil. Too much or too little water will create challenges to the plants. Soil is the leading indicator of a health.
How long to Living-Walls last?
We have walls that have been installed and thriving for over 8 years with no plant swaps or substitutions. With proper care and feeding a vertical garden will last as long as a traditional garden plant. Dr Craig Kolodge taught me that the old decaying roots (also called root fluff) become the new soil by which the plants feed in a carbon exchange for sugar.
How long does it take to install a Living-Walls?
A basic residential wall, ranging in size from 40-80 SQF should take 3-5 days. Our typical residential installs take 1-2 days for the hardware and 1-2 days of planting, which are typically conducted offsite. Indoor walls typically take longer.
Can you make your own Living-Wall?
There are a lot of DIY resources available including kits that we sell. Youtube and Pinterest are good resources for such, but it is important to get an engineered system that will allow the plants to mimic a natural environment that would include good soil health, proper irrigation, drainage, circulation and consideration for exposure to the sun.
What are the disadvantages of Living-Walls?
Similar to a salt water fish tank, living walls are remarkable and require proper care and feeding to stay remarkable.
Do Living-Walls create moisture on my wall?
Our system is offset from the wall substrate so there is proper air-flow and no direct contact with the wall. When considering a vertical garden it is important to find a system that will not introduce mold or regular moisture to the wall surface.
How often should I water a Living-Walls?
We water our greenwalls 2-3 min every other day in summer and we adjust down seasonally as needed. Every location is unique and will require adjustments accordingly. Our system is engineered for sustainability and requires less water than most, and each tray is watered individually as opposed to needing water to cascade from above.
Your Living Wall Has a Personality. What’s Yours?
Your Living Wall Has a Personality. What’s Yours?
A living wall isn’t just a collection of plants—it’s a living, breathing composition that sets the tone for a space. At Elevation Living Walls, we believe greenery should do more than fill a wall—it should speak. It should whisper calm, radiate joy, or stand tall with confidence. That’s where "plant personalities" come in.
Imagine designing your space not just for color and function—but with the expressive traits of each plant in mind. From the lush, draping romantics to the structured rebels of the succulent world, each species brings a unique vibe. When used intentionally, these “characters” transform walls into soulful, story-driven installations that evoke feeling, connection, and meaning.
Why Plant Personalities Matter in Biophilic Design
Biophilic design is more than a trend—it’s a movement to reconnect people with nature in the spaces where we live, work, and heal. Living walls offer one of the most powerful ways to achieve this, merging architecture with organic beauty. But it’s not just about the green—it’s about what kind of green.
Every plant evokes a mood. Assigning “personalities” to plants is a creative, intuitive way to:
Reflect brand identity in commercial spaces
Curate emotionally resonant environments in hospitality and healthcare
Offer clients an engaging and memorable design experience
Bring artistry and storytelling into sustainable design strategies
Meet the Personalities: Our Plant Cast of Characters
We approach every wall like a stage, and every plant has a role to play. Here are just a few of our favorite green personalities:
The Lush Romantic
Heartleaf philodendron, pothos, ferns.
These soft, trailing varieties feel intimate, warm, and luxurious. Perfect for spas, lounges, or homes where calm and comfort are key.
The Edgy Minimalist
Sansevieria, echeveria, upright grasses
Bold and architectural, these plants thrive in modern spaces where clean lines and structure take center stage. Think executive offices and gallery spaces.
The Wild Eccentric
Asparagus fern, tillandsia (air plants), bromeliads
Unpredictable and full of flair, these plants bring excitement and depth. Ideal for creative agencies, boutique retail, or any environment looking to stand out.
Moss, peace lilies, soft ferns
Subtle and serene, these species are perfect for meditation rooms, healthcare settings, or quiet corners that need a grounded energy.
Coleus, golden pothos, vibrant philodendron
With bursts of color and fast growth, these plants represent joy, positivity, and growth. Great for welcoming lobbies, cafes, or classrooms.
By blending these personalities, we create walls that don’t just look good—they feel right.
How to Use Personality-Driven Plant Design
At Elevation Living Walls, we often start client consultations with one simple question:
“How do you want this space to feel?”
From there, we help select plants that embody those emotions, whether that means drama, calm, playfulness, or prestige.
Here’s how you can explore this approach in your project:
Define the Mood: Identify the emotional tone of your space—luxurious, peaceful, energetic, etc.
Mix and Match: Blend personalities to create dynamic compositions that evolve with the seasons or your lifestyle.
Let the wall narrate the story: Create zones or vertical “scenes” where different personalities interact—like a botanical narrative across the wall.
Think beyond aesthetics: Consider light, air circulation, and maintenance needs while choosing personality types to ensure longevity and vitality.
