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.
Questions Every Designer Should Be Asking Their Clients (We Do.)
🎯 The 5 Questions We Ask Every Client (and You Should Too)
At Elevation Living Walls, design is never an afterthought. It’s the beginning. That’s why we start every project—whether it’s a commercial lobby, a private residence, or a hospitality concept—with a discovery process rooted in intention.
Our approach has not only helped us deliver remarkable results, but has also become a resource for architects and designers looking to deepen their own client conversations.
If you’re looking to create spaces that are both visually stunning and emotionally resonant, these are the five essential questions we ask every client.
🌱 The Core 5 Questions
What is the purpose of this space, and how should it feel when someone walks in?
This uncovers the emotional blueprint. Do they want calm? Energy? Drama? Warmth?
What styles, moods, or projects are you drawn to?
We always ask for reference images, Pinterest boards, or past work they admire. Aesthetic clarity begins with visual language.
Are there any materials, plants, colors, or elements you love—or want to avoid?
Knowing what to sidestep can be as helpful as knowing what to spotlight.
What is your timeline, budget, and scope of involvement?
Good design thrives within known constraints. This helps us (and you) deliver exactly what’s promised.
What worries you most about this project—or about working with a new vendor?
This builds trust immediately. It tells the client you’re listening and proactive about solving problems before they arise.
🌿 Bonus 5 Questions (For a Deeper Dive)
If time allows—or if the project is larger in scale—we also explore:
Is there a story behind this project or property that we should honor or reference?
Design grounded in narrative always resonates more deeply.
How will this space evolve over time?
Understanding long-term use helps us future-proof the design and select resilient materials and plantings.
Who are the primary users of this space?
Knowing the demographic or lifestyle of the end users shapes scale, texture, and accessibility.
Where do you stand on maintenance?
This is key when recommending plant types or automated irrigation systems.
What would make this a “wow” moment for you?
Everyone has a hidden dream—something emotional, something dramatic. We make it our mission to uncover it.
🤝 A Partner in the Process
We’ve found that when you ask the right questions, the answers naturally lead to better, more intentional design. Whether you use these prompts in your own practice or let us lead the discovery, Elevation is here to elevate the process—not just the wall.
Let’s create something extraordinary together.
