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.

The Wall That Breathes: Why It’s Time to Stop Designing Flat

July 31, 20253 min read

When Flat Falls Flat

Most walls do nothing. They divide space, support ceilings, maybe wear some trendy paint or paneling—but let’s be honest: they’re lifeless. In a world craving authenticity, wellness, and a deeper connection to nature, traditional walls simply don’t measure up.

So here’s the question:

Why are we still designing flat… when walls can breathe?

Welcome to the age of the living wall — a lush, living vertical garden that doesn’t just decorate a space, but transforms it.


Living Walls: The Biophilic Upgrade Your Design Needs

At Elevation Living Walls, we believe that good design doesn’t just look good—it feels good. That’s where biophilic design comes in: a design philosophy that reconnects people with nature by integrating natural elements into the built environment.

Living walls are a pinnacle of biophilic design. They bring indoor greenery to spaces where square footage is tight, aesthetics matter, and wellness is more than a buzzword.

Whether it’s a hospitality lobby, luxury residence, or office atrium, a well-designed living wall doesn’t just sit there—it breathes life into your project.


What Makes a Living Wall Work Harder Than Drywall?

Here’s why smart designers are shifting from static materials to sustainable, plant-powered surfaces:

Visual Impact with Depth and Motion

Living walls create a sculptural, textural, and dynamic backdrop that evolves over time. It’s art that grows.

Healthier Air, Naturally

Indoor greenery improves air quality, reduces VOCs, and boosts humidity—creating more comfortable, health-supportive interiors.

Calmer Minds, Happier People

Studies show that plants reduce stress and improve cognitive function. In retail and hospitality, that translates into longer stays and better customer experiences.

Supports Sustainable Design Goals

Living walls align with LEED and WELL certification standards, reduce heat island effects, and contribute to overall sustainable design initiatives.


Proven System. Stunning Results.

We’ve simplified the process of specifying and installing custom living wall systems with our proven, modular approach. At Elevation Living Walls, we guide architects, designers, and property owners through every step—from concept to completion.

Need renderings to pitch your client?

Trying to figure out irrigation or lighting?

We’ve been there. We’ve solved that.

Because this isn’t just our product. It’s our passion.


Design Tip: Start With One Feature Wall

Want to explore living walls without overhauling your whole project? Start with a single, statement-making feature wall. Think reception areas, dining niches, or outdoor courtyards. A vertical garden in just the right spot can spark conversation, enhance branding, and give your space that “wow” factor your clients are craving.


Flat Walls Are Over. Living Walls Are the Future.

As design evolves, so should our surfaces. Walls are no longer just for paint and wallpaper—they’re opportunities. At Elevation Living Walls, we help you turn those opportunities into living, breathing experiences that invite people to linger, connect, and thrive.

We don’t just build walls. We grow stories, style, and well-being—one vertical garden at a time.

Let’s bring nature back into the built environment.

Contact us today to explore how we can turn your next wall into a living one.


Let’s Make Your Walls Talk

We believe great design should inspire, connect, and tell a story. If you’re ready to add depth, life, and beauty to your next project, we’d love to show you what’s possible.
