Natural wall systems

At Earth Dragon, we bring over 20 years of expertise to crafting high-performing, ecological, and carbon-sequestering wall technologies. We specialize in a variety of low-tech, non-toxic systems, including strawbale, light straw clay (LSC), rammed earth, and hempcrete.

1. Planning

Every project begins with a consultation to align visions. Next, we handle property placement, site assessments, and collaborate seamlessly with your architects, engineers, and general contractors.

2. Installation

Next, we install ecological wall systems like strawbale or hempcrete. This phase is either fully contracted out or collaboratively built through empowering educational community work parties.

3. Finishes

We apply beautiful earthen and lime plasters. just like frosting on a cake, these natural finishes provide essential building protection, fire resiliency, and stunning sculptural beauty.

Remodeling and repairs

Two people are working on painting a wall inside a room. One person is standing near a window and holding a paintbrush, while the other person is reaching up to paint the upper part of the wall. The floor is covered with protective paper and painter's tape, and the ceiling is unfinished wood.

Whether you want to remodel a conventional space with an earthy aesthetic, or require ongoing maintenance, we can help. We expertly handle everything from simple plaster patches to complete wall repairs for water intrusion.
