It’s that time again. The time when sunny San Diego braces for its annual retreat from the sun. When dark clouds bank the coastal landscape, tans fade, and moods go sour. It’s the time of the year when June Gloom has arrived.  

While it might feel dreary outside, it’s the perfect time to bring bright vibes inside. Yes, we’re talking about plants and flowers (do we talk about anything else?). At Good Earth Plants, we specialize in “plantscaping”, offering a range of services that not only enrich lives, but also elevate your mood and improve your overall wellbeing. 

The Power of Plants

Plants may as well be superheroes. They have remarkable powers like: 

  • Reducing stress
  • Boosting productivity
  • Purifying the air 

Countless studies have shown that incorporating plants into spaces can create a more pleasant and healthy atmosphere. From a busy office to a cozy living room (or that trendy restaurant down the street), adding greenery or color to any space can transform both place and people in one fell swoop (superhero capes sold separately). 

Our Services

At Good Earth Plants, we’re passionate about bringing the beauty of nature to you! Our expert team specializes in a variety of “plantscaping” solutions, including: 

Moss Walls

Add a touch of nature without the hassle of frequent maintenance with our stunning moss walls. These lifelike installations bring the outdoors in, creating a serene aesthetic in any space. Moss walls can thrive in any indoor setting! Growing conditions don’t have to be ideal – or even close to it because moss walls don’t need light or water.   

We custom design every moss wall that we create. They can be cut into any shape to fit into any space. When you add in multiple elements –like varying moss color, wood, shells, or faux stone – the possibilities are infinite. Contact us today to schedule an appointment. Our plant experts will assess your space and learn more about your ideas so we can give you a design and estimate.

Living Walls

There’s nothing like a living wall to elevate your space with bursts of lush foliage. Not only do they enhance the look of your environment, but they also contribute to better air quality, mood, and overall wellbeing. Living walls can live happily inside with the right lighting, or outside in almost any climate. They can be planted randomly or with carefully planned, intricate patterns.  

Similar to home and garden plants, a living wall needs regular trimming and cleaning. It must be regularly fertilized, and replacement plants should be added as needed. Good Earth Plants provides top-notch maintenance to ensure your living wall is always looking its best.

Whether you want to install a small interior living wall, or a huge exterior living wall on the side of a multistory building, Good Earth Plant Company’s experts will take care with every step of installation to ensure your living wall project is structurally sound.

Replica Plants

In some cases, living plants aren’t a feasible choice for your interior environment (or even your external environment).

You can still enjoy the beauty of plants without the upkeep! With our high-quality replica plants, these lifelike creations are indistinguishable from the real thing (we mean it) and add a touch of greenery to any setting. These are not the artificial plants of the past! Like everything else, replica plant technology and manufacturing has greatly improved with production techniques like 3D printing and computer-aided design, not to mention new, lifelike materials that are inherently fire retardant (IFR).

There are even UV-protected replica plants available for outdoor “plantscaping”. They won’t fade or deteriorate even after exposure to sunlight and last for years. 

Green Roofs

Transform your rooftop into a green oasis with our green roof installations. This is perfect for a new building project, and can extend the life of a roof, reduce stormwater runoff, and create habitats for local wildlife.  

Green roofs – whether on a small home or a vast commercial structure – are partially or completely covered with vegetation. Green roofs often include additional layers such as a root barrier, drainage system, and an irrigation system.  Once your building is determined to have the proper structural support and proper waterproofing, we can help design the roof top garden of your dreams.

Installing and maintaining a green roof is a commitment to our environment and your home or commercial building with benefits that will last for generations. If you’re ready to get started and explore your green roof options, contact us at Good Earth Plants today.
