Our Planter Boxes: Quality you can trust

Durable Cedar Construction: The planter boxes are 15” deep and constructed from 1-inch thick Eastern cedar boards. Designed by our in-house engineer, Will Schreiber, with both durability and aesthetics in mind. We build planter boxes in standard sizes and custom sizes WITH and WITHOUT a bottom. Bottoms that allow drainage are helpful when the box is placed on a balcony or a patio.

Optional Varnishing: Extend the life of your box with our chemical-free varnishing service. Varnished boxes also look great!

Custom & Standard Sizes: Choose from standard sizes or request a custom size tailored to your garden.
