Take Advantage of the Vertical Space!
Our Mission isHardscape vs. Landscape
Solid Walls have two outcomes:
(1) Great structure for holding back the grade change
(2) Great at contributing to Urban Heat Island
Maximum Environmental Service from Living Walls:
Great Structure for holding back the grade change + Green-space, Habitat, Urban Cooling, Rainwater retention and treatment
![Page 6: Block-Based Living Walls of Filtrexx v.1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587b99b41a28ab4e4f8b7215/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Nice shot from a competitors website and this sort of project is everywhere.
Lots of opportunity to use Living Walls as an alternate that offers so much more environmental service for a comparable price.

“Vertical Parking Lots” Should Be a Thing of the Past

Turn this wall on its side and park cars on either plane.
Great wall but not great environmental service.
Our planet needs more environmental service from typical structures!

Why EnviroBloxx and SmartSlope Living Walls?
Structure - Living Retaining Walls provide the underlying structure needed to permanently stabilize grade changes.
Design Flexibility – Filtrexx Systems can be installed where many other systems cannot. Locations such as creek banks where excavation is not possible or desired.
Environmental Benefits - Living walls minimize stormwater runoff, cool the environment, and provide habitat fornative creatures. Plant based livingsystems have been shown to benefitbuildings, owners, occupants, andthe environment.

Retaining walls are evolving and the next generation is - Living!
Our SmartSlope Concrete Modular System has had great success in commercial walls but handling and placement is not easy due to the weight of concrete. A light weight version is needed in the landscape and DIY markets.
![Page 42: Block-Based Living Walls of Filtrexx v.1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587b99b41a28ab4e4f8b7215/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Polymer Living Wall System: Landscape and Residential
•The radically unique EnviroBloxx are light weight due to being cast hollow from injection molded plastic, while maintaining structure. •They are able to nest for transport efficiency and cost savings. •The system and all of its parts are made of 100% recycled plastic and when backfilled with compost, create a 100% post consumer content wall and can easily be drip irrigated.•Once installed they will look just like traditional concrete plantable modules but at 1sf coverage and only 2.5 lbs unfilled, they handle and place with ease and enable the construction of walls up to 5’ tall with little to no equipment or special tools.•Finished walls will be almost entirely plantable fill material allowing moisture / roots / nutrients to have unblocked movement. This allows plant roots to stitch together the completed structure better than any previous block system.• EnviroBloxx rely on technology from Filtrexx GardenSoxx for plant growth and light modular media placement or with “Side Rail” accessory can accept loose media and/or smaller soxx. •When additional reinforcement is required, they have built in receptors for the same mechanical strap connection as the commercial EarthBloxx Systems. •The Strap hole also doubles as a handle during construction.

EnviroBloxx can be installed in a straight line and with slight curves by using the block alone with (1) 2’ x 8” GardenSoxx filled with local compost. If the side rail accessory is added, then tight radii can be accomplished, or it can be backfilled with loose growing media without soxx. Lots of versatility!
