Question 1

What sizes do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We have seven standard sizes covering patio, balcony, large outdoor, raised garden, privacy, commercial, and custom. Standard sizes start at 24″ long for compact patios and go up to 60″+ for privacy planters and commercial use.

Question 2

Do you build custom sizes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Custom is one of the things we do best. Send us the length, width, and height you need — plus a photo of the space if you have one — and we’ll come back with a sketch, quote, and timeline within 1–2 business days.

Question 3

What wood do you use?

Accepted Answer

Kiln-dried Western Red Cedar, locally sourced. Western Red Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, contains natural oils that repel insects, and ages beautifully in our wet climate.

Question 4

Is cedar good for outdoor planters?

Accepted Answer

It’s one of the best woods you can use outdoors. Cedar is rot-resistant without chemical treatment, holds up to our Pacific Northwest weather, and ages to a soft silver-grey if left untreated or keeps its warm tone if sealed.

Question 5

Do the planters have drainage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every planter is built with proper drainage — drilled holes plus an interior shelf or slatted base depending on the model. We can also customize drainage on request.

Question 6

Do you deliver in Greater Vancouver?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver across North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster, Surrey, Delta, and Langley. Free delivery on orders over $200.

Question 7

Can I pick up?

Accepted Answer

Yes — pickup is available by appointment at our North Vancouver workshop. Just let us know when you place the order.

Question 8

How long does an order take?

Accepted Answer

Standard sizes typically ship within 7–10 business days. Custom builds usually take 2–3 weeks depending on complexity and finish.

Question 9

Do you offer bulk pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for orders of 5+ matching planters. This is common for restaurants, cafés, strata properties, and townhouse complexes. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

Question 10

Can restaurants or businesses order multiple planters?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is a big part of our work. We build commercial-grade cedar planters for restaurants, cafés, hotels, retail storefronts, and strata properties across Greater Vancouver, with volume pricing on 5+ units.

Question 11

Do you stain or seal the planters?

Accepted Answer

We offer three finishes: natural (unfinished), clear outdoor sealer (preserves the warm cedar tone), and charcoal stain (modern dark finish). Custom colour matching is available on request.

Question 12

Are the planters suitable for balconies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our balcony planters are sized to fit standard condo balconies and built with reinforced bases for upper-floor use. We can size custom planters to fit standard elevator clearances.

Question 13

How do I maintain cedar planters?

Accepted Answer

Cedar is low-maintenance. Left natural, it weathers to a soft grey — no action needed. If you want to keep the warm cedar tone, re-apply a clear outdoor sealer every 1–2 years. Empty and clean the planter once a year in spring to extend life.
