What We Do
plantwalldesign is a consulting company that creates vertical gardens, plant walls and living walls using live tropical plants.
We work closely with architects and designers to create a living art piece using live plant materials, and help them to bring the project to life.
Starting with the design development phase, we work closely with the architect to design the wall sections, diagram the pump and piping diagrams, lighting and other details. We coordinate the plant species types, and plan the designs in accordance with all CSI (Constructions Specifications Institute) requirements. We supervise all aspects of the Plant Wall construction through the installation of the live plants.
As a Leader in plant wall technology in the U.S., we will add a new dimension to your home or business, and will allow you to benefit from the rejuvenating properties provided by plants.
Our state-of-the-art, patented hydroponics technology to create vertical gardens and plant walls can be customized to satisfy your unique vision and style.
