What Is a Plant AMC, and Do You Actually Need One?
Annual Maintenance Contracts for office plants and living walls — what they cover and when they're worth it.
The short answer
A plant AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is a service agreement where the vendor's gardeners visit on a schedule to water, prune, fertilise and replace plants. If you have more than a handful of plants or any living wall, yes — you need one.
What a good AMC covers
Scheduled gardener visits, watering and feeding, pruning and cleaning, pest control, and free replacement of any plant that declines. The best contracts also include a plant warranty.
When it's essential
Living walls and large indoor fleets are not 'set and forget'. Without scheduled care they decline within months. An AMC is the difference between a green wall and a brown one.
What to ask before signing
How often do gardeners visit? Is plant replacement free and unlimited? Who responds if a plant dies between visits? Is there a warranty? Vague answers here are a red flag.
The bottom line
Treat the AMC as part of the project cost, not an optional extra. A wall or fleet without one will not look the same in six months — and re-doing it costs more than maintaining it.
