Out of the above product categories, planters remain an integral part of design and landscaping. It’s no wonder our planters continue to be a firm favorite amongst landscape architects and those who supply landscaping projects.

Jay Scotts has earned a global reputation as a leading designer and wholesale supplier of top-line planter products. This is because our planters are made from the finest commercial-grade fiberglass delivering high performance, durability, and strength despite its lightweight characteristics.

Our planters are then hand-finished with UV-protective high-grade automotive paint, making them ideal for use outside in all kinds of weather conditions. That’s just one of the reasons why we supply to client from all industries from the Philadelphia International Airport to the Gates Hotel South Beach in Miami.
