Take a look at our standard planter ranges
Custom planters for high streets
Custom planters for high streets enhance urban environments by providing greenery, seating, and spatial definition in high-traffic areas.
These bespoke planters can be delivered on both a small and large scale and are commonly manufactured from durable materials like Corten, powder-steel or timber, with options for integrated seating, branding, and security features to revitalise public spaces.
For high streets, custom planters can be designed to your specific site dimensions to fit in high-traffic pedestrianised zones or to act as barriers.
School streets planters
Planters used for school streets are robust, often custom-designed features that help create safer, greener spaces outside schools during pick-up and drop-off times. Acting as effective traffic calming measures, they restrict vehicle access, reduce air and noise pollution, and improve road safety while supporting low-traffic neighbourhoods.
Designed for both function and flexibility, these planters can serve as vehicle barriers, seating, and urban greening elements and can be tailored with colour, artwork, or branding.
School Street planters help encourage active travel, making it easier and safer for children and families to walk or cycle.

Benefits of custom planters
Custom planters create inviting and beautiful spaces that promote wellbeing and support local biodiversity. Adding flexibility and visual appeal to any urban environment, planters are a practical way to make spaces more vibrant and climate resilient. The inclusion of lush plants and trees can help improve air quality, reduce noise pollution and offset heat from concrete surfaces.
Fully customisable
Our planters can be custom made to any shape, size or colour and they can be designed to fit in around existing street infrastructure. Bespoke planters can also include seating.
Enhances public spaces
Bringing vibrancy and life, planters help brighten up urban areas and complement street-scapes. They create a more welcoming atmosphere in public spaces, making them more inviting to residents and visitors.
Functional traffic barriers
Planters can help protect pedestrian areas and guide foot traffic, adding safety where traffic management is required. They can also be used as attractive Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) alternatives.
Supports public health
Adding planters with greenery has a positive effect on public health, through the reduction of smog, smoke, dust, CO2 and other pollutants.
