No — and that’s the beauty of them.We use real plants that have been professionally preserved at peak freshness, so they stay soft, vibrant, and natural without ever needing water, sunlight, or upkeep.You get the look and feel of nature without the maintenance, mess, or monthly bills.

Cost:
A stabilized moss wall is a single, one-time investment. Designs start at $200 per square foot and maintain their look for 10+ years with zero maintenance or monthly service contracts.

A living wall requires constant care — irrigation, lighting, fertilizing, pruning, replacing dead plants, mold prevention — and ongoing professional maintenance. Over five years, a living wall can cost $50,000+ just in upkeep.

‍Health + Aesthetics:
Stabilized moss offers a natural biophilic effect—calm, connection to nature, and a high-end design statement—without the risk or maintenance of a living plant system.

Stabilized moss is naturally low-maintenance and can last 10+ years when kept indoors and away from direct sunlight or moisture.

To keep your piece looking its best:
‍
Avoid direct sun and water exposure
Keep it away from heaters, fireplaces, and A/C vents
Maintain normal indoor humidity
Dust occasionally with a cool blow dryer or compressed air (optional)
That’s it. No watering, trimming, or upkeep required.

For smaller pieces, you can hang your moss art just like any traditional wall décor. For larger, heavier, or hard-to-reach installations, we offer professional installation to ensure the piece is secure and perfectly placed. If you’re unsure, leave it to us — we’ll handle the install for you.

We pride ourselves in keeping our entire business operation as local as possible. When it comes to sourcing our moss, we lean on North American suppliers to minimize our environmental footprint. The exact location we source our stabilized products varies slightly depending on the season and moss variety, as our goal is also to get you the best product! When it comes to the other elements of our work – we work closely with our trusted local contractors for custom wood frames, logos, lettering, neon signs, and everything else that goes into making your design.
