Eco Walls
Eco Walls, based in Bordentown, NJ, is expanding the green footprint in urban environments. Where new construction in urban environments often means losing greenspace, Eco Walls reverses that trend using living walls. They grow their plants right in their greenhouse in a proprietary blend of soilless medium design to wick and lock in moisture while providing optimum levels of oxygen, and beneficial microbes ...

Living Green Fence

Here’s another take on a living wall/living fence. This one is a pretty simple to make it looks like. So they’ve built two trenches along the line they want the fence to go. Then they lean rows of willow trees against each other. Then they fill the gap in between the willow trees with dirt halfway up. The willow trees are installed in the fence without any branches or roots, but they eventually grow roots to become a thick green fence that’s very solidly built. The fence doesn’t break down that easily because it’s living, so it adapts to the environment. The original stakes that are used to build the wall do eventually break down, but the willow trees and their roots hold the dirt in the middle in place so it can last almost indefinitely. The thick wall of dirt between the trees also helps with making the green fence a solid sound barrier.
