Custom planters + Edging

Our Process

Collaboration

The process begins with a collaboration session where we learn about your design intent and all the details of your project

Design

With the info from the collaboration, we then create design sketches to ensure all parties are on the same page and create a proposal

Client Approval

Next, when sketches are approved, we create the technical drawings for final approval

Delivery

Finally, delivery and the exciting part of bringing it all to life.

Our FLEX Products

FLEX CUSTOM PLANTERS

ANY HEIGHT, WIDTH AND SHAPE:
WE CAN BUILD WHAT YOU NEED.
Completely custom-made by skilled artisans, you design and we build! Our engineers can assist you in creating the right structural integrity and if needed, our horticulturists can help with the correct requirements for growing success. Like Edging, these planters can be merged with benching to create urban spaces for effective collaboration spaces or work areas.

From as simple as rectangles and squares to integrated pieces that complete your design,our custom metal planters fit into projects large and small.

Flex Planters have a bottom that can drain onto the subsurface or can be plumbed to capture the runoff eliminating any irrigation runoff. We can also pair with irrigation inlets for reduced on-going plant maintenance costs.

Flex Planters are constructed from Corten Steel and Aluminum, which is generally powder coated but can be left raw if requested. We can powder coat in most RAL colors, and we have a really cool corten-like powder coat so you can have that look without the initial “bleed” that comes with Corten. These products are high-end and designed to last a lifetime.

FLEX EDGING

ANY HEIGHT, WIDTH AND SHAPE:
WE CAN BUILD WHAT YOU NEED.
Like all products in the Flex Collection, Flex Edging is custom-made. This means if you design it and we will build it. Our team of experts will make sure structurally and horticulturally viable. These are a great way to create inviting spaces in hard urban environments.

Flex Edging is constructed from Corten Steel and Aluminum, which is generally powder coated but can be left raw if requested. We can powder coat in most RAL colors, and we have a really cool corten-like powder coat so you can have that look without the initial “bleed” that comes with Corten.

The benefit of Flex Edging over planters is that it is more economical than Flex Planters. This is because it is modular so transport is substantially less and, there is no bottom. Edging is also very flexible and works great to create multiple levels as well as create walking paths
