MOSS FAQ
Our standard lead times fall between 6-8 weeks. Some exceptions apply, such as project scale, product availability, etc. Your project specialist will guide you through this during your project consultation.
We build the moss wall, crate up the panels and have it shipped wherever the project is anywhere in the continental US. If you do not have a team/contractor who can install it, we can arrange for a GO team member to be onsite for installation.
We service anywhere in the continental US. Canadian clients can reach out directly for more information.

You will receive a quote from us, and once you accept we get started. We help you work out the design with our Product Designer who creates 3D renderings and shop drawings for your approval.
When the design is approved by you/stakeholders, we submit the work order to our in-house production team.
We send you photos of the assembled product before shipping.
Once approved, we crate the product, ship to the project location, and even provide installation services if required (included in quote).
The short answer is no.
Direct sunlight, rain, birds and insects to name a few things will quickly deteriorate your Moss Wall.
The moss we use is "real" moss but it has gone through a preservation process that keeps it fresh and green for years without water or sunlight.
While we have never had a case of one of our Moss Walls collecting dust, that doesn't mean various debris might not find its way into it. If you need to clear any dry elements from the moss, a light spray of canned air (the kind you clean your keyboards with) will do the trick.
Drier environments, like in Arizona, that have less humidity in the air increase the chances of certain moss type drying out. If a moss wall is being installed in a drier environment, we will make moss type recommendations and misting schedule instructions.
We also recommend that they are not installed next to windows where direct sunlight will be hitting them for significant amounts of time.
Moss Walls can be touched without harming it, we strongly recommend that it is left untouched and installed away from high foot traffic areas. Consistent agitation to the moss could result in those areas separating from the substrate.
Moss Walls range from a few feet to several stories. Because they are assembled modularly, they can be nearly any size.

Green Oasis does provide the plants with the system. We provide an assortment of options that are best suited for a Living Plant Wall for your selection.
They are then potted into the POD Living Wall System Grow Pots and transported with your wall.
In some scenarios, we are able to source plants local to the project location, and pot them onsite.
Once the wall is installed, a trained maintenance technician will service the wall going forward. The plant maintenance covers cleaning, pruning, watering, pest control and replacements.
Living wall success is usually guaranteed by the service company, so any plant that needs to be replaced will be covered by service company without any extra surprise costs for the client
The wall is irrigated across the top POD of each column, water is run through this pipeline and it flows down through each POD, behind the locked-in plants.
Our Living Walls are plumbed in a way that allows a technician to connect a water supply to an accessible intake valve and allow it to drain back to the bottom into a catch basin or watering cart.
Although the POD Living Wall System reduces the need for plant replacements, it does happen.
Absolutely. The PODS are made from weather-treated recycled materials, and will stand up to even freezing temperatures.
There are multiple benefits to outdoor Living Walls including lowering overall building temperatures and encouraging biodiversity in urban areas.
If you are within our service areas between San Antonio, TX and Austin, TX we will happily provide ongoing maintenance services for your wall.
Outside our service area, local plant care vendors to the installation should be available.
PODs are 11.875" wide, 7.32" tall, and 3.5" deep.
A licensed plumber will tap our wall into a direct point of connection. We put a pressure reducer, controller and flow valve on the irrigation line to monitor the usage and control when the wall is watered
Depending on the wall size and when the wall is designed/installed, the walls can be hooked directly up to a drain, have a catch basin or the technician can just use a catch bucket when watering the wall. Walls plumbed to a direct point of connection must have adequate drainage
PSI needs to be at least 25 PSI for a directly irrigated wall.
Pests can be a problem, yes. The Pod system does a wonderful job though of keeping debris away from the water.
This is important because some systems allow for organic matter to fall into the water and it starts to decompose - this creates a feeding ground for pests like Gnats. And if pest problems do still occur, they can absolutely be treated.
