Living Wall Installer in Corona del Mar
Elevation Living Walls designs, builds, installs and maintains custom living walls for Corona del Mar homes and the architects and designers who work on them, including the 30-foot wall at our featured Corona del Mar residence.
Custom Living Walls for Corona del Mar’s Eclectic Coastal Aesthetic.
Our biggest job in Corona del Mar is a seven-figure backyard we designed and built: a 30-foot living wall with 1,440 plants down the side yard, a waterway along the edge of the deck, two cascading water features, a new infinity pool and limestone throughout (see the full project). It's a good picture of what building here takes. Lots are tight, so a living wall often ends up in a side yard or courtyard where every inch is seen up close. Salt air, wind off the water and glare from glass and pale stone all change which plants hold up and how the wall gets watered. And the houses don't follow one style. A modern build can sit next to a Mediterranean villa or an old beach cottage, so the wall has to suit the house it's on. Start with a short introductory call about your property, the wall you have in mind and your timing, and we'll tell you whether a site visit is the right next step.
From courtyard walls near Irvine Terrace to entry gardens along Ocean Boulevard, we help architects, designers, and homeowners move from a first sketch to a fully planted, irrigated living wall — whatever style the surrounding architecture calls for.

Corona del Mar Living Walls Need Planning Around Real Site Conditions.
Corona del Mar’s ocean proximity, tight lots, and mix of architectural styles all affect how a living wall should be built. Salt air, reflected light off nearby windows and hardscape, irrigation access, and maintenance pathways can all affect long-term plant health if they aren’t planned for upfront.
Elevation helps homeowners, architects, designers, and builders make informed decisions before committing to a living wall system, plant palette, or construction direction — especially on tight coastal lots where every detail is visible.
We help evaluate:
- ✓ Indoor vs. outdoor living wall opportunities
- ✓ Ornamental, succulent, tropical, or edible planting strategies suited to the home’s style
- ✓ Irrigation, drainage, electrical, and maintenance access on tight coastal lots
- ✓ Marine air, reflected light, wind, and exposure conditions specific to the site
- ✓ Wall scale, viewing angles, and integration with varied architectural styles
- ✓ Budget range, phasing options, and long-term care expectations

Corona del Mar Living Wall Questions.
Are living walls good for homes near the coast?
Yes, when they’re designed around marine exposure, irrigation, drainage, maintenance access, and plant selection suited to coastal Southern California conditions.
Will a living wall work with my home’s architecture?
Yes. Corona del Mar’s mix of modern farmhouse, Mediterranean, and cottage-style homes each call for different plant palettes and frame details — we design around your specific architecture rather than a one-size-fits-all system.
Do living walls require maintenance?
Yes. Living walls are living systems. Plants grow, water needs change seasonally, and the wall should be observed, trimmed, adjusted, and cared for over time.
What do living walls cost?
Costs vary based on size, indoor or outdoor conditions, irrigation, drainage, access, plant palette, and system requirements. A consultation helps clarify the best direction and investment range.
Can you work with architects and designers?
Yes. We support architects, interior designers, landscape architects, builders, developers, and owners with feasibility, design-build planning, installation, and maintenance guidance.
Will a living wall damage my building?
A properly designed system accounts for separation from the substrate, irrigation control, drainage, airflow, and maintenance access — details we work through in the planning conversation.
