Built-to-size planter boxes in the same materials as our fences, so garden beds and borders match the rest of the yard instead of clashing with it.
A planter box takes the same abuse a fence does: wet soil against it year-round, freeze-thaw cycles, and full sun on one side. Store-bought boxes tend to come apart within a few seasons because they're built light. We build ours the way we frame a fence, with proper corner joinery, solid material, and a finish that holds up outside.
Because they're built on site to your measurements, boxes can be sized to a specific deck edge, walkway, or run of fence rather than whatever a big-box store happens to stock. Height matters more than most people expect: raising a bed to a comfortable working height makes planting and weeding much easier on your back, and it keeps the soil warmer earlier in the season.
We build in cedar, in metal-clad panels, and in the wood-framed metal combination we're known for, so a planter can pick up the same lines and stain as the fence behind it. Common work includes raised garden beds, deck and patio planters, along-the-fence borders, and multi-box sets in matched sizes.
Constant contact with damp soil is what ends most planter boxes early. Material choice, drainage, and how the corners are joined decide whether it lasts a couple of seasons or a decade.
Custom dimensions mean a box that actually fits the deck edge, walkway, or fence line, instead of leaving an awkward gap you have to live with.
A raised bed at the right working height takes the kneeling out of planting and weeding, which makes a real difference over a full growing season.
Matching the material and stain to your fence or deck makes planters read as part of the build rather than something added on later.
Whatever suits the space. Length, width, and height are all set per project, so a box can be built to a specific deck edge or a full run along a fence line. Tell us the spot and roughly what you want to grow and we'll suggest dimensions.
Cedar, metal-clad panels, and the wood-framed metal combination we use on our fences. We'll go over what makes sense for the look you're after and how much upkeep you want to take on.
That's usually the point. Material, stain, and framing details can be matched to an existing fence or deck so everything reads as one build.
Either, depending on size and access. Smaller boxes can be built and set in place; larger raised beds are generally assembled on site where they'll sit.
Yes, and it's the easiest way to do it. Combining the work means one visit, matched material, and no waiting on a second trip. See Residential Fencing for the fence side of it.
