Cost:
A stabilized moss wall is a single, one-time investment. Designs range from $125 up to $425 per square foot depending on design. Under proper conditions they keep their look for 10+ years with zero ongoing maintenance.
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 atmosphere, a calm connection to nature, and a high end design statement, without the risk or maintenance of a living plant system.
