Zone by zone
Where planters carry a public landscape
Plaza & civic square
Open ground with long sightlines, where only oversized volumes hold scale against the paving.
Streetscape & sidewalk
Repeating runs that calm traffic, define the pedestrian zone and take daily public contact.
Transit & interchange
High-throughput public interiors and forecourts, where units must never narrow an escape route.
Parks & promenades
Exposed positions with irrigation but little shelter. Freeze-thaw and UV stability decide the specification.
Campus & institutional
Repeat units across a large estate, held to one finish so later phases still match.
Waterfront & coastal
Salt air and constant wind. Fiberglass does not corrode, and ballast handles exposure.
Site conditions
What public sites do to a
planter — and what to specify
Full exposure and wind load
Open plazas and waterfronts see sustained wind. Ballast the base, or anchor through it where the site is fully exposed.
Freeze-thaw cycles
Water in a porous planter cracks it. Fiberglass is freeze-thaw stable from −40°F to 180°F; drain before first frost.
Public contact and vandalism
Units get sat on, tagged and knocked. Surfaces clean and re-finish on site, so a repair is a service call.
Access and installation
Civic sites have restricted delivery windows. At a tenth of concrete weight, no crane is needed to set a large unit.

Finishes that hold up
Finishes most specified for civic and streetscape work
Public work favours finishes that weather quietly and hide the marks of a maintenance regime. Cement grey and charcoal sit naturally against paving; terracotta and bronze warm a hard landscape. Any RAL matched at no tooling charge.
