The Art of Vertical Gardens: How Color Walls Are Transforming Fort Worth Landscapes
When you think of a garden, you probably picture flowers spreading across the ground. But what if we could make them climb toward the sky? At Cody Landscape, we're reimagining outdoor spaces with Color Walls—vertical gardens that transform ordinary fences into living works of art. These unique installations are changing how Fort Worth homeowners think about seasonal color.
What is a Color Wall?
A Color Wall is what happens when gardening meets architecture. It all started when one of our clients returned from Aspen's Little Nell hotel, inspired by their vertical garden display. They wondered: could we create something similar for their poolside fence? That question led to one of our most innovative offerings.
Each Color Wall features:
Custom-designed wire baskets crafted by local artisan Ric Briseno
Specialized fabric layers that hold soil while allowing perfect drainage
Hidden irrigation systems that keep plants thriving
Carefully selected plants that create stunning vertical displays
The Art of Installation
Creating a Color Wall is like painting with living colors—except our canvas stands upright, and our paint grows and changes with the seasons. Our team spends two full days bringing each installation to life:
Engineering the Foundation: Every project begins with precise measurements and custom basket placement.
Creating the Growing Environment: Special soil mixtures and irrigation systems give plants their best chance to thrive.
Artistic Plant Placement: Each plant is positioned to create beautiful patterns as they grow and cascade.
Fine-Tuning the Details: Hidden irrigation ensures every plant gets just the right amount of water.
Seasonal Transformations
What makes Color Walls truly special is how they evolve throughout the year. Right now, we're installing deep purple pansies that will bring rich color through the winter months. When spring arrives, we might transition to cascading petunias or vibrant begonias. Every season brings a new opportunity to refresh your outdoor space.
Why Color Walls Work in Fort Worth
Texas weather demands smart solutions. We've carefully engineered our Color Walls to thrive in our climate by:

Making Your Space Unique
Every Color Wall tells a different story. Take our recent installation at the Sellers' residence—what started as a poolside fence has become a stunning vertical garden that makes their outdoor entertaining space feel like a resort. The best part? It looks beautiful from both the pool deck and through their windows, adding color to every view.
