At Plaisir Vert, we pride ourselves on our ability to offer complete and customized landscape solutions to our clients.
We prefer services for outdoor plants.
Some of our customers have called on our services for exceptional reasons concerning indoor plants, such as moving mature cacti, caring for fruit plants in greenhouses or even plants that go out in summer and come back in winter.
However, these are exceptional services.
For indoor plant care, we advise you to call on dedicated companies.
To dress the walls, we decided to give preference to climbing plants (e.g. wisteria, vines, etc.).
Because climbers promote biodiversity, they provide shelter and food for insects and small birds, and require minimal care and maintenance.
On the other hand, we have tried and failed to install Patrick Leblanc-type plant walls.
In addition to the fact that these green wall installations require complex techniques and specific materials, which would make us completely uncompetitive.
These walls need to be fertilized with liquid fertilizer, a constant supply of water and monthly maintenance by a team trained in horticulture, electricity and hydrolics.
However, if you have an installation kit, our team is trained by Plant Design, who are specialists in the field, so we can install it for you.
