Zone by zone
Where planters do the most work on a property
Arrival & porte-cochère
The first impression, and the harshest position on the property — wind, exhaust, luggage traffic and constant sightlines from the drive.
Lobby & reception
Interior scale and finished floors. Planting softens hard architecture without narrowing circulation or blocking the desk.
Pool deck & cabanas
Chlorine, salt, full sun and wet surfaces. Units must move for cleaning and events without a crew or a forklift.
Restaurant terrace
Screening between covers, wind shelter for diners, and a defined edge to the licensed area — done with planting rather than fencing.
Rooftop & sky bar
Load limits and wind exposure decide everything. Fiberglass keeps weight down where structure is the constraint.
Corridors & guest floors
Repeat units at low cost per floor that survive housekeeping carts and give long corridors a rhythm.
Site conditions
What hospitality sites do to a
planter — and what to specify
Salt air and coastal exposure
Salt deposits dull most finishes and corrode metal planters within a season or two. Fiberglass does not corrode, and rinsing clears deposits.
Wind on decks and rooftops
Tall units in exposed positions need mass low down. Ballast the base before the drainage layer, or anchor where the site is fully open.
Chlorine, irrigation and wet floors
Pool chemistry and constant wetting mark porous materials. Gel-coat holds up, and no drainage keeps finished interior floors dry.
Guest and service traffic
Units get leaned on, knocked by carts and cleaned around daily. Damage sands and re-finishes on site rather than being replaced.
