Specification FAQ

GardenWells is a patented passive sub-irrigation system that stores water in a hidden reservoir beneath the soil. Moisture moves upward through capillary action, delivering water directly to plant roots without pumps, timers, or external irrigation lines.

Water is stored below the soil inside a concealed reservoir. The growing medium wicks moisture upward through capillary action, providing consistent root-zone hydration while eliminating the need for mechanical irrigation equipment.

GardenWells reduces water consumption by up to 80% compared with conventional top-watering, by minimizing evaporation and runoff — while supporting water-efficiency and stormwater-management goals for commercial and residential landscape projects.

Unlike conventional systems that rely on pumps, timers, or surface watering, GardenWells stores water below the soil and distributes moisture naturally through passive capillary action from a hidden reservoir.

Yes. AutoCAD (.DWG) files and PDF specification sheets are available for every LifeSpace garden model, with full dimensions, materials, and details. Design resources are delivered by email on request.

Yes. Landscape architects, architects, and designers can request AutoCAD (.DWG) files and PDF spec sheets for every model to support planning, specification, and project documentation.

Every garden ships fully assembled with the GardenWells sub-irrigation system pre-installed — one unit combining planter and irrigation. This simplifies drawings, reduces site error, and streamlines installation time.

Gardens are built from premium Western Red Cedar with furniture-grade joinery. A food-safe waterproof liner separates the soil and water from the wood, creating a durable rot-proof construction backed by a 10-year warranty.

LifeSpace gardens are backed by a 10-year warranty covering material and structural integrity. The rot-proof design protects the wood from moisture, significantly extending lifespan compared to standard raised beds.

LifeSpace gardens provide soil depths of up to 12 inches, suitable for growing a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, flowers, and edible plants.

LifeSpace gardens are available in standard sizes from 2×2 through 4×8. Custom sizes are also available to meet specific project requirements and design objectives.

Yes. LifeSpace offers signature models in multiple sizes plus fully custom sizes for specific project dimensions. Contact the team to discuss specifications for your space.

Yes. LifeSpace gardens are used on rooftops, amenity decks, and podiums across North America. The sub-irrigation reservoir controls drainage and prevents runoff onto surfaces below, and gardens ship fully assembled for placement.

Yes. The system is designed for edible gardening. A food-safe waterproof liner ensures soil and water never contact the wood, keeping the growing environment safe for vegetables, herbs, and fruit.

GardenWells operates without pumps, timers, or external irrigation lines. Water is stored below the soil and delivered through passive capillary action, reducing irrigation complexity while maintaining consistent moisture for plants.

No. Because the system operates entirely through passive capillary action and a hidden reservoir, no electricity, pumps, or automated timers are required.

LifeSpace gardens are specified for senior living, healthcare, multi-family residential, rooftop amenities, schools, hospitality, public parks, and commercial developments across North America.

Landscape architects specify LifeSpace for projects requiring premium self-watering garden systems with patented passive sub-irrigation, available CAD resources, standard and custom sizes, durable cedar construction, and proven use across diverse project types.
