Planters

There are a number of different commercial planters you can consider when planning for a space in Australia. Commercial pots can suit public courtyards and streets where planting needs to be contained in a durable vessel. Large garden pot plants need a vessel with enough volume for their root systems and the conditions of the site.

Street planters refer to the general name for most types of planters in Australia. It usually refers to large wooden, terracotta or plastic troughs for plants in public spaces. Clay planter pots can suit smaller planting schemes, while larger troughs provide more room for public planting.

Street furniture planters are an increasingly popular innovation in Australia. They incorporate benches and seating areas with planters with a multipurpose product.

Concrete street planters are formed out of concrete. The heavy material makes them ideal for public spaces, as they’re less likely to get blown away, damaged or stolen.

Planter boxes that sit on railings are another functional innovation. If ground space is limited, then attaching boxes to railings can still add some greenery. A wall with planters can also add planting to a vertical surface when ground space is limited.

Another material chosen for public planting in Australia is metal. It can provide an attractive exterior for planters that blends with an industrial environment and it’s also durable.

A high-quality planter brings numerous advantages, including providing a seamless way to add greenery to an environment. High-quality planters use superior-grade materials compared to inferior alternatives which is beneficial for a number of reasons. It makes them more robust and reliable, able to withstand exposure to the elements all year round. It also means they’ll look better and retain their original lustre for longer. Many high-quality options are also multifunctional like planter furniture which also provides seating and railing planters which save on space. This means you can achieve numerous goals with one solution offering much better value for money.

It’s best to start with an assessment of the space in question. Try to understand the needs of the space and what might be most effective. For instance, if you want to transform an industrial area, you might consider choosing a material that matches this style like metal or concrete. This will allow the planter box to blend in making the plant itself stand out. You’ll also need to determine just how many planters are required over a space to make it look balanced. When using street planter boxes these are usually spaced out evenly on both sides of the road. Some also like to match their planters with other features in the area, like street furniture to create a bit of design cohesion.
