What a rental program includes
Plant rental suits teams that want managed greenery, refresh cycles, replacement plants and predictable care. Plants, containers and care are covered by one program, so the office always looks maintained.
- Plant and container selection for each area
- Installation scheduled with the building
- Regular care visits and watering
- A replacement schedule for plants that decline
- Refresh cycles to change the look over time
Plants for Chicago offices
Low winter light is the main challenge. Interior zones in Loop towers can be far from the windows, and the darkest months slow growth. Plants are placed and chosen for year-round light, and cold drafts near entries and lobbies are avoided for sensitive varieties.
Containers need to be durable enough for busy office floors and suited to the space. Watering access is planned so care visits do not disrupt desks or meeting rooms. For offices that span several floors, a consistent plant palette and container style keeps the whole workplace looking like one company.
Building logistics
Dock scheduling, security desk coordination and snow-season delivery planning are routine in Chicago towers. Installs and replacements are timed to the building's rules, and spring is a natural moment for a lobby refresh as light returns.
Installation and event projects start at $10,000. Send us your floor plan or photos to start a project review.
