Living Walls: The Perfect Blend of Nature and Architecture in Union & Chicago, IL
Plants are the lungs of the earth: they produce the oxygen that makes life possible, add precious moisture, and enhance air quality by removing toxic chemicals and airborne molds. It’s no surprise that living walls, also known as green walls, have become a popular nature-inspired interior design trend, infusing urban and suburban spaces with greenery and fresh, healthy air.
Our professional designers work closely with hotels, commercial office buildings, healthcare facilities, and residential properties to design and install vibrant living walls, supporting WELL, LEED, FitWel, and other efforts. From Chinese evergreens and pothos plants to moss art and replica plants, we have plenty of tropical plants and elements ready to feature in your custom green wall.
How It Works
Planning is the key to a successful living wall. While we frequently work with architects for the size and locations of living walls, many of our clients look directly to us for biophilic design concepts and recommendations. During your consultation, our designer will set up a time to meet with you and determine the best space for the wall, taking into critical factors such as lighting and access to electrical, plumbing, and water sources. They’ll also discuss maintenance and pricing options to create a solution that works for you.
We provide a comprehensive proposal with details about what’s involved for your review.
Once approved, we’ll get to work installing the living wall, moving it from a concept to a vibrant reality.
All of our living wall systems are designed to be as low-maintenance as possible. Managers follow up closely to monitor newly installed walls and ensure that everything is working properly. Weekly maintenance is key to monitoring and keeping a healthy living wall.
Transforming Ordinary Walls Into Living Art Pieces
Each living wall we create is unique to the space and client. Small to large, interior to exterior, and 4” plants to 6” plants, discover some of the vibrant, lush, and tropical living walls we’ve brought to life.

Our living wall interior plant service ensures your wall is designed and maintained to perfection, helping you bring nature into your living or working space seamlessly.
