Who owns the facade photos and renderings, and how long do you keep them?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your firm needs and make sure it meets GDPR or any other regulation that applies to your projects. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Does the preview account for the wall's sun orientation and climate zone?

Yes. Tell us the facade's aspect and hardiness zone and the render reflects a plant palette that's actually viable there — sedum and fern-heavy mixes for shaded or cold-climate walls, denser coverage for sheltered, sun-facing elevations in warmer regions. It won't show you a species mix that would fail on that wall.

Can it show the wall at year-one planting density versus mature fill-in?

Yes. Most green wall proposals have to manage the expectation gap between the sparse look at install and the dense coverage at 18 to 24 months. We can generate both stages so the client understands exactly what they're approving and what they're waiting for.

Does this work for direct greening — climbing vines on a cable or trellis system — or only modular living wall panels?

Both. Direct greening with climbing species on a support structure and engineered modular panel or felt-pocket systems render differently because the growth habit and coverage pattern are different — we match the preview to whichever system you're specifying.

Can the render show plant selection for freeze-prone climates instead of the tropical mixes most green wall photos show?

Yes. Cold-hardy exterior mixes — sedums, ornamental grasses, hardy ferns, climbing hydrangea — look nothing like the tropical foliage in most manufacturer marketing photos, and the preview reflects that so you're not setting an expectation the plants can't survive to meet.

Does the preview factor in existing windows, signage, or entry canopies on the facade?

Yes, because it's generated from the actual photo of the wall, not a blank elevation. Windows, downspouts, signage, and canopy lines stay exactly where they are, so the client sees how the greening integrates with what's already there instead of guessing.

How is this different from the 3D rendering or BIM visualization our manufacturer already provides?

Manufacturer renderings typically show their system on a generic or idealized wall to sell the product. This generates the preview on your client's actual building, from a photo taken on site, which is what gets a specific project approved rather than illustrating the system in the abstract.

Vertical Garden & Living Wall

Show clients their living facade before the steel frame goes up

Photograph the exterior wall. Makeover generates a photorealistic green facade preview in under 10 seconds, showing your proposed plant palette at mature coverage on the client's own elevation — not a manufacturer's flagship installation shot in a different climate zone.

What is a exterior green facade preview preview?

An exterior green facade preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a living wall or vertical garden system installed on a specific outdoor wall, before any structural frame, felt panel, or irrigation line is ordered. The contractor photographs the actual facade, and the tool renders the proposed plant palette at full coverage — matched to that wall's sun orientation and climate zone — on the real elevation, not a stock installation photo from a warmer region. Green wall contractors and landscape architects use this during the proposal or design-review meeting to get facade specifications approved before committing to a system that can run well over $100 per square foot installed.

Why it matters

Exterior living wall systems run roughly $80 to $200-plus per square foot installed once the structural standoff frame, waterproofing membrane, irrigation and fertigation lines, and plant material are all accounted for — a modest 300-square-foot entry facade can clear $40,000 before year-one maintenance contracts. That number lands on a client who's only ever seen a green wall in a manufacturer's brochure: full, lush, and photographed in a climate with nothing in common with a north-facing wall in a cold-winter city. The deal stalls on questions a catalog photo can't answer — will it fill in on this orientation, will it survive the freeze-thaw cycle, will it look intentional next to the existing signage and window line or just bolted on. A preview generated from the client's own elevation, matched to its light exposure and climate, turns that stall into a specification the property owner, architect, and review board can sign off on in the same meeting.

Who uses this

Green wall and living facade contractors quoting commercial retrofits and new-build installations. Landscape architects specifying facade greening as part of a biophilic design strategy or LEED credit pursuit. Horticultural design teams selecting orientation-appropriate species mixes for hydroponic panel or felt-pocket systems. Property developers and facilities managers presenting green facade concepts to HOA architectural review boards, hotel ownership groups, or corporate campus stakeholders who need to approve the look before construction drawings are finalized.

Heard this from a client?

They've seen the manufacturer's flagship photo — a lush, dense wall shot in a Mediterranean courtyard — and expect that exact density on their shaded, north-facing entry in a climate that gets snow.

The architectural review board won't approve the facade because they're picturing a patchy, half-filled wall for the first two growing seasons, not what it looks like once it's established.

The property manager can't tell if the green wall will look integrated with the existing windows, canopy, and signage, or like a panel system randomly bolted onto the brick.

How exterior green facade preview previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the facade

Any exterior elevation shot works — the contractor captures the wall as it exists today, noting orientation and any fixtures the planting needs to work around.

AI generates the mature coverage preview

The model renders the proposed species mix at full establishment, matched to that wall's sun exposure and climate zone — not a generic lush render lifted from a warmer region.

Present for sign-off

The client, architect, or review board sees their own facade transformed, in the same meeting where the specification gets approved.
