Geranium Street partnered with Lifetime Irvine to transform their main entrance with a breathtaking, custom-designed artificial living wall. This 1800 sq ft installation delivers a permanent green entrance with far less upkeep than a live wall, using UV-resistant materials for a durable Southern California welcome.
Understanding the Problem
Lifetime Irvine’s vision was clear: a one-of-a-kind, lush green wall for their main entrance that made a powerful brand statement. However, achieving this with natural vegetation presented significant hurdles—the cost and complexity of installing an irrigation system, coupled with ongoing water usage and maintenance expenses, conflicted with operational efficiency and sustainability goals.
The Geranium Street Approach
Geranium Street presented the ideal solution: a fully custom-designed artificial living wall. We specified ultra-realistic foliage modules constructed from UV-stabilized polymers engineered to resist fading under the relentless California sun. The irrigation-free design eliminated all associated plumbing, water costs, and maintenance labor.
Bringing It to Life
The project commenced with detailed site analysis and 3D rendering. Our team engineered a custom mounting system tailored to the specific dimensions and structural nuances of the entrance wall. All 1800 square feet of artificial foliage were meticulously hand-assembled based on the approved custom layout. Installation was completed as a turnkey operation with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Transformative Impact
The completed artificial living wall exceeded expectations, delivering a stunning, one-of-a-kind design that instantly elevated the property’s curb appeal. The irrigation-free, UV-resistant design removes the plumbing, watering, and plant care a live wall of this size would require.
