§01 — City operating context
Chicago greenery has to match the property, not just the search term.
A useful plant program starts with the rooms, access rules, light, maintenance expectations, and calendar pressure that shape the work before install day.
Property types that fit
- office towers
- hotel lobbies
- multifamily amenities
- healthcare campuses
What changes the scope
- low winter light
- cold drafts near entries
- tower lobby scale
- maintenance access
§02 — Selected work references
Chicago work should feel like a real place, not a city-name swap.
Selected installs from the archive, used to anchor renderings, plant density, finish level, access planning, and care expectations before quoting the real work.
§03 — Services
Chicago plant design, rental, installation, and maintenance.
Installation and event projects start at $10,000. Start with a project review; design work and renderings are agreed separately.
Project review
Commercial plant maintenance
The visual result depends on care cadence, replacements, pest prevention, pruning, and access planning.
Project reviewOffice plant design
Built for spec packages, lobby standards, executive floors, and ongoing refresh cycles.
Project reviewOffice plant rental
Useful when the buyer wants managed greenery, refresh cycles, replacement plants, and predictable care.
Project reviewInterior landscaping
Designed around sightlines, lighting, material selection, access, and the long-term health of the installation.
Project reviewHotel biophilic design
Coordinated with hospitality timelines, public-space durability, and maintenance requirements.
Project reviewLiving walls
Irrigation, access, lighting, and maintenance determine whether the wall becomes an asset or a liability.
§04 — Local plan
Tell us what the building, calendar, and room will not forgive.
The useful quote is the one tied to access, timing, light, maintenance, and who owns the space after install. That is why the rendering brief asks for photos and operating context before we price the actual work.
- dock scheduling
- security desk coordination
- snow-season delivery planning
- winter interior greenery
- spring lobby refresh
- holiday decor programs
§05 — Neighborhoods and guides
Use the local context before sending photos.
The goal is not a generic estimate. It is a clean scope for the room, building, and service model.
- Loop
- River North
- West Loop
- Fulton Market

What shapes a Chicago project
Winter is the defining constraint. Low winter light and cold drafts near entries limit what will thrive close to doors and revolving entrances, so plant choice and placement account for both. Tower lobbies are large, and planting has to hold its own at that scale while leaving room for maintenance access.
Logistics follow the building: dock scheduling and security desk coordination are routine, and deliveries in snow season are planned with weather in mind so material is not left exposed to the cold.
Planning around the Chicago calendar
Winter interior greenery carries lobbies through the coldest months, a spring lobby refresh follows as light returns, and holiday decor programs start in autumn. Planning early helps secure dock slots and install windows.
- Spring: lobby refresh and replacements
- Late summer: plan holiday decor
- Winter: interior greenery and cold-weather delivery planning
