Custom Planters

Custom tree and plant boxes made to order

Metro Trees currently build containers from a variety of materials to suit particular applications and budgets. For specific projects where clients require a containerized tree for decoration over a 5-8 year period, we can produce an economic planter to the dimensions required in treated pine. For more ornate containers we can clad a steel based shell with stone materials ranging from marble, bluestone and granite. Containers weight once planted can be designed to still allow for the use of a 2.5 tonne fork to access and lift to allow for relocation as required. Bottom up capillary water can also be added to allow for and surety of the plantings water requirements. Metro Trees is happy to provide detailed horticultural advice on the best plant and tree selections to suit the particular application.
