More Updated Images of Pizzeria Mozza – Living Wall

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Most recent images of the Pizzeria Mozza living wall

You’d think we’d get tired of showing these images!! Our regional sales representative was driving in the area of the Pizzeria Mozza last week, and just stopped to see how things were going.  The top of the wall had filled in so much that he decided to snap a few images and send them over.  Even with all the “harvesting” that is being done off the edibles at the bottom three rows of VGM modules, the wall is really looking terrific.

We were delighted to be chosen to provide the planters and irrigation systems for the on-structure planters at the brand-new Ritz-Carlton Destination Club in Vail, CO this past spring. The project was specified by SE Group from Burlington, VT (who ought to know a thing or two about designing ski locations), and installed by Rocky Mountain Custom Landscapes.  Recently our mountain-states representative Scott Doman visited the site, and sent back this description and the attached images.

Pizzeria Mozza Update – Expanded VGM edible living wall!

Expanded VGM Living Wall at Mario Batali's Pizzeria Mozza

We’ve received far more press and kudos for the living wall installed by Greenscaped Buildings at Pizzeria Mozza than any other project we’ve done.  Even though the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s living wall is substantially larger, it lacks the cache of a celebrity like owner Mario Batali.  The folks at Pizzeria Mozza like their wall so much that they asked to expand the wall higher.  More pictures after the break…

Just in time for the Olympics? Or not – Westin Bayshore, Vancouver BC

When we received the call from Coconut Grove, a interiorscaper and landscape contractor near Vancouver, the clock was already ticking. Their client, the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver, wanted to update the public areas of the hotel before the Olympic parade rolled into town.  Unfortunately, there simply wasn’t enough time to pull together the material they wanted for the order.

Our fiberglass shows its quality after years in the field – Fairmont Hotel, Scottsdale, AZ

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

I wanted to feature this installation because it showcases the durability of the FRP material in demanding circumstances.  A few posts ago (Hyatt Regency Gainey Ranch) I repeated something I’d heard from a local contractor in Phoenix (and I paraphrase) – “after one year outside in Phoenix, most fiberglass containers are toast”.   These pots were installed in Dec. ’07, and these images were taken in April ’10.  The “AAA-five diamond” Fairmont Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ isn’t exactly a low-traffic installation, and the pots are still looking great.  It’s a direct result of the way we manufacture our fiberglass.  We use 2-3x more fiberglass than most manufacturers and won’t ever “cut” our product with fillers that add to the weight without adding strength.   More images after the break…

Hyatt Regency Resort at Gainey Ranch, Scottsdale, AZ

Urban Collection planters along the main walkway

In the heart of the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort at Gainey Ranch, a magnificent 4-star hotel, you’ll find the fountain courtyard, filled with majestic palms, fountains, and streams as it leads you from the lobby to the main pool area.  About two years ago the hotel horticultural staff added Urban Collection containers and CWM Modular container irrigation for additional color along the paths.  More images after the break.

Mario Batali’s “Pizzeria Mozza” Edible Living Wall installed

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

The finished edible wall at Pizzeria Mozza

We were delighted to see the results of the final installation of the edible living wall at Mario Batali’s Pizzeria Mozza restaurant in Los Angeles. More importantly, the staff from Pizzeria Mozza and the whole restaurant group (shown below with their new wall) were delighted with the results.  They had opted to go with the VGM system over several less-expensive solutions, and were really impressed by the end result.  So impressed, in fact, that they’ve already asked the crew from Greenscaped Buildings to add two more rows higher!  More installation images after the break.

Dream Hotel, Miami – Custom Planter Liners

Friday, February 5th, 2010
 
36″ x 36″ x 31″ Deepstream IPE planter with Tournesol thermoplastic liner

 We work closely with several other manufacturers of pots, planters and containers, and thought it might be interesting to show the results of our collaboration.  Deepstream Designs creates wonderful planters using extruded aluminum legs and IPE wood slats (as shown above), or resin and composite panels.  We provide them with our standard thermoplastic planter liners (either with or without container irrigation), or in this case, custom-manufactured welded planter liners.
