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.
