Getting Started With Plant Walls
PLANT WALL SIZE
Plant walls can be complex, and we help you navigate the details: the proper lighting, drainage, plumbing, irrigation, and electricity to bring the wall to life.
FREESTANDING OR HANGING
Plant walls can hang on a wall like a piece of living art, or they can stand on their own. This decision alone will drive the direction of the project.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Plant walls are a living system, and to grow, they need to be watered. Most living green walls are built with one of two irrigation systems to ensure their health or growth: a direct irrigation system or a recirculating irrigation system. The direct system is hooked up to an external water source, like city water. A recirculating irrigation system has an irrigation tank and a pump. The pump sends water through the plant wall, with excess water falling back into the irrigation tank to start the process over.
TYPES OF PLANTS
To determine the types of plants you will need, we will need to talk to you about the environment your plant wall will be located in. Our expert horticulturalists will pick the plants that will thrive best in your environment. They will consider factors such as the amount of light, space to grow, traffic flow, and more to pick the best plants for you.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
At Plant Solutions, we also provide installation and maintenance for plant walls, so we will discuss these services with you as we talk about creating your plant wall.

Plant Walls FAQs
What is a Plant Wall?
A plant wall—sometimes called a living wall—is a vertical garden that brings nature to your walls, creating a living, breathing work of art.
How is a Plant Wall installed?
Depending on size and complexity, most plant walls are securely mounted to an existing wall structure using a support system. In most cases, this doesn’t require major structural changes.
Are all Plant Walls irrigated?
Not all. Larger walls typically require built-in irrigation and drainage systems, while smaller installations are maintained by hand by our expert Horticulture Service Technicians.
Will I need to maintain my Plant Wall?
Not at all. Our “Gurus of Green” handle everything—watering, trimming, and replacements—so your wall stays vibrant and healthy year-round.
How large can a Plant Wall be?
The sky’s the limit. There’s virtually no size restriction for a living wall; we scale designs to fit your space and vision.
