At ASLA EXPO: 5 Popular Design Solutions for Commercial & Residential Landscaping
Effective landscape design finds a balance between style and practicality. Planters Unlimited is proud to be a trusted resource for those who walk this line, which is why we are proud to be displaying our most popular design solutions—and new innovations!—at the upcoming American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) show in New Orleans this October. Read on to learn about some of our most popular products for commercial and residential landscape projects.
Space Dividers
Would you like to screen in a patio from the eyes of passers-by or create a natural-looking barrier around a hotel pool? Our space dividers do everything from defining space and creating privacy to controlling foot traffic and adding a touch of architectural interest to any space, indoor or out. Available in an assortment of designs and materials, from wood to stainless steel, we have a divider to match every design application.
Low Bowl Planters
The sleek, low-profile style of our low bowl planters make them a designer favorite for showcasing plants in both inner or outer landscapes. These planters are made from fiberglass and weather-resistant materials, so they won't crack, chip, shear, or split—even in harsh outdoor climates. Their shape is particularly suited for letting shallow-rooted plants, like succulents, shine. Smaller planters can be set atop a pedestal or table to display their green bounty, while larger planters placed in open plazas and on terraces soften their surroundings.
Large Custom Planters
Do you have a large space—like a rooftop terrace or outdoor shopping area—that would be ideal for an oversized design element? Our large commercial planters, which can measure up to 20 feet or more, are custom-made to fit into any design plan. And all of these planter designs are made with durable, lightweight, and rot resistant materials.
Cast Stone Planters
Are you fascinated with the look and feel of stone, but not with the idea of expensive shipping costs and hard-to-move planters? Our cast stone planters are made from GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete), a durable fiberglass concrete blend that is 75 percent lighter than regular concrete. These handmade planters last for years in any indoor or outdoor environment, as they are made to withstand the ravages of the elements without warping, cracking, or chipping. Their handcrafted quality makes them a favored design element for upscale venues like five-star resorts, hotels, and casinos.
Fiberglass Liners
Want to keep your planters protected from water and soil damage? Our customizable fiberglass liners were designed specifically for that purpose. These liners are made from a lightweight material that prevents water from warping, rotting, or otherwise damaging the planter. They can be further customized with drainage holes to prevent root rot and other problems caused by overwatering. Our liners can also be further reinforced and made completely waterproof, a custom option that is ideal when transforming a planter into a makeshift pond.
