Living Wall Systems

Purify and energize your indoor space with a vibrant vertical garden. Living Walls of lush tropical plants bring life and fresh oxygenated air indoors where we need it most these days. With several proven Living Green Wall technologies at our disposal, we have one to fit your design goals and budget.

 
 
 

Solar Roofs

It’s 2023. Solar is done very differently now. Put no money down, assume no risk, yet enjoy all the benefits of going solar, including the tax credits and a steady passive income. Put your unused roof space to work catching the money falling out of the sky.

 
 
 

Preserved Moss & Folia Walls

Urbanstrong’s line of Preserved Moss Walls let you enjoy many of the benefits of living wall systems but without the need for any maintenance, watering or lighting. Our Preserved Moss Walls offer a wide range of moss and plant species that can be custom arranged in picture frames, as free-standing divider walls or entire wall coverings. For an office moss wall we can even integrate your company logo.

Green Roofs

Installing a green roof is a smart way of reinvesting in your building asset. A green roof will protect the roof membrane from future replacements, reduce your energy bills, and boost your property value by creating a unique amenity space to relax and enjoy Nature. Urbanstrong’s Green Roof Consultants are standing by to discuss your project. We will walk you through all of your options for available technologies, layouts, local laws, and government grants and incentives.

 
 

Our Process

“Our team of specialists will guide you through the entire process from start to finish, or pick and choose for your project needs. We offer consulting on available technologies, grants, local laws, and financing, as well as design, installation and long term maintenance.”

“Alan really knows his stuff. He is up-to-date on the latest NYC local laws affecting buildings like ours and all the different solutions available on the market. He helped us understand which roof system made the most sense for us. He then helped us develop a customized plan that maximizes our roof’s potential to generate passive income for the building.”
