Zone by zone
Where planters earn their place in a restaurant
Sidewalk & street edge
A defined boundary to the licensed area that reads as hospitality rather than barrier — and takes the abuse of a public pavement.
Patio & covers
Wind shelter between tables without blocking sightlines to the room or the view. Units move for reconfiguration.
Entrance & host stand
The arrival moment. One or two sculptural pieces do more here than a row of matching units.
Rooftop dining
Load limits, wind and evening service. Light units that can be ballasted and repositioned by two staff.
Bar & counter
Low planting at eye level that softens hard surfaces without taking usable counter space.
Private dining & interior
Interior scale on finished floors, specified with no drainage and a finish matched to the joinery.
Site conditions
What dining sites do to a
planter — and what to specify
Food service and spills
Grease, wine and cleaning chemicals reach planters on a patio every service. Gel-coat wipes clean where porous materials stain permanently.
Wind between buildings
Street canyons and rooftops move air hard. Tall screening units need ballast in the base before the drainage layer.
Nightly reconfiguration
Tables move, covers change, events happen. At a tenth of concrete weight, two staff can reposition a run without equipment.
Evening light
Most trade happens after dark. Dark matte finishes recede and let the planting and lighting carry the scene.
