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

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!

Creating Structural Facing Systems That Support Healthy Plants is What We Do Across Our Entire Product Line

Why Filtrexx® LivingWalls™

• Committed to the entire life cycle of these plant-based building systems

• MSE and non-MSE applications

• Solutions for 90° to 25° of inclination

Why Trinity Living Walls?

Structure - Living Retaining Walls provide the underlying structure needed to permanently stabilize grade changes.

Design Flexibility –Trinity Systems can be installed where many other systems cannot. Locations such as rural areas where light weight materials cut down trucking costs significantly.

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.

Filtrexx – Trinity Living Walls

How was the Trinity™ LivingWall System Developed?

1. Proven erosion control and plant growth of Filtrexx International’s compost filled Soxx

2. Installed into the security of a galvanized wire facing system

3. With system components matched, engineered, delivered and maintained to full grow-in by The Living Wall Company, LLC

Trinity Evolutionary Firsts• Integration of proven wire form,

polymer strap reinforcement and precise, modular placement of excellent growth media at the facing in one elegant operation

• Galvanized welded wire face elements in several sizes

• Simple “mechanical” connection to reinforcement straps

• First and only system to utilize Filtrexx Soxx as erosion control and growth media at the facing

• Extremely high coverage to weight ratio for reduction in trucking, fuel and install labor

• Largest “verifiable” and “quantifiable” growth media volume of any plantablewall system

• Soxx filled with locally produced “certified” compost

• Uniform face angle at 70 degrees with facing interlock for precise alignment

• Designed for maximum contribution to LEED points

• Easily establish native perennials from seed included inside the Filtrexx Soxx

• Designed for drip tubing inclusion• Available worldwide as a locally

manufactured green building product

Traditional Welded Wire Walls Value Proposition – walls and slopes, design flexibility, availability, easily shipped, possible greenspace, lower price where aesthetics are not a driver

Traditional wire wall suppliers leave living wall components such as soil and plants up to “others” – the detail below looks great but actually creating it in the field takes integrated components and a business model based on healthy plant covered structures.

Traditional wire walls do not have verifiable quality and quantity of growth media at the face –nobody really knows what is installed or how much?

Before and after pictures tell the tale.

Our “soft block” systems function like regular block walls and then they support long-term coverage by healthy plants.

Lots of flexibility to build walls and slopes at a variety of heights – just like block and traditional systems but with the added environmental benefit of plants covering the face long-term.

Irrigation for All of Our Systems

Flat drip tape or round emitter tubing is run under the mesh from one end of our wall systems to the other. Cost effective and functional irrigation ensures good germination and early plant health in order to establish strong root systems for the long term.

Trinity “C”ommercial – Basic PartsGroSoxx - in two foot lengths . “Cover crop” seed or “permanent crop” seed can be run inside the soxx for ease of placement. Live plugs, native seed or live stakes can be added from the face after completion.

Several Strengths of Polymer Strap, Support Struts, Strap Rollers and Irrigation Tubing serve a range of applications.

Trinity “L”andscape – Basic PartsUnique 3’ wide panels that cover a full 6 sf each once installed and provide for even more handling ease. This series of panels only weighs 8 lbs. each and allows for easy shipment on 4’x4’ pallets to any jobsite.

Various strengths of our unique SmartStraps and irrigation tubing for a range of applications Our systems rely on true mechanical connection to reinforcement that is safely concealed behind the face. ( a must! )

The cross section looks similar to our other systems and to traditional block based systems.

Familiar installation method that contractors can quickly master.

We can deliver plugs or seed to the job.

Our SmartStraps can be customized to the job.

MSE Walls With All Growing Media At The Face

Trinity Advantage“State of The Art” Face Elements• Largest infill capacity per sf area• Mechanical connection to strap• Moisture, nutrient and root movement

through the entire facing system• Precision support struts for shape retention• Face fill is secure and open to backfill • Galvanized for durabilityAll Inclusive Material Package• Wall design and well integrated components

on every project• Site specific plant and seed selection• Planting and maintenance to maturityEmphasis on Grow-out• Proper plant selection assistance• Easily ad drip irrigation to the walls• We only sell vegetated systems• Our brand is fully grown-in walls and slopes.

We stay involved till they are.

Retaining walls are evolving and the next generation is - Living!
