  • Low-maintenance decor 
  • Year-round thriving green wall

Before & After Transformation

This client already had a fenced yard and a beautiful garden to relax in. But, the fence that separated his property from his neighbor’s wasn’t the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. After dealing with an uninspiring view for a while, our client had enough.

The project took a few days to complete. Our client worked hard to revamp his space and give his family and visitors a unique change of pace. The household was delighted not to have to look at a boring fence any longer.

The Client Challenge

In the beginning, his only concern was covering up the view of the neighbor’s fence with something eye-catching. But after ruminating for some time, he realized he’d also like to create a private area to enjoy during the warmer months. Besides this, he remarked how a green transformation would make this the perfect spot for hosting and entertaining.

Admittedly, he had a great setup from the start - a big yard, a fence, and a desire to make everything pop.

The Design Objective

In the beginning, our client turned to Google for inspiration.

He perused blogs, shops, Instagram feeds, and Pinterest boards until he finally settled on Designer Plants. Since our team has made it their mission to capture the benefits of artificial plant walls, our client didn’t have to look for much longer.

After browsing our vast collection, the client decided to take on this installation and try his hand at another DIY project.

The Solution

Following careful deliberation, our client chose a mix of the Luxury Country Fern Artificial Vertical Garden and the Lush Fern Artificial Green Wall.

We then sent him the panels and he got to work.

Installation Approach

Results were inevitable with a client that is equal parts creative and enthusiastic. And given that this is a residential project, our client will enjoy his green decor for at least 5 years without having to replace it.

According to our client, his region experiences unstable weather during the warmer months, so he needs hard-as-nails artificial greenery that can withstand whatever nature throws at it. The client’s spacious deck lent well for full coverage, so the client decided to source their own timber and construct the frames needed to support the faux green wall panels.

The client determined he would need 14 faux living wall panels to cover the entire surface. He then put up the wooden frames and prepped the area for the panels. Using our handy installation guide, he successfully hung the fake garden walls and interlocked them.

To do this project, our client followed the installation guide and used a hammer and screws to affix and secure the panels to the timber beams.

The Result

Now, the space is prime for relaxation, outdoor dining, gardening, and hosting get-togethers. But in the end, our client couldn’t get enough of the stark contrast between the grey fence and the luscious green walls.

Why Artificial Greenery Worked So Well

In the end, we mostly heard praise about the fact that the artificial greenery is so low maintenance that you only need to spray it with water to clean it. The fauxliege doesn’t need trimming or sunlight to thrive, so our client can enjoy its benefits without exerting any effort.

Practical Tips

- For a spacious deck or yard, source your own timber and construct frames to support the faux green wall panels — this gives you full flexibility over coverage area and height.

- Determine the number of panels needed before ordering, then put up the wooden frames and prep the area before hanging.

- Use a hammer and screws to affix and secure the panels to the timber beams, then interlock them following the installation guide.

- The fauxliege doesn't need trimming or sunlight to thrive — spray it with water to clean it and that's all the upkeep it requires.
