Bespoke metal planters in Cardiff

Cardiff Bay is the defining condition for planter work in the city: open water, sustained wind and a salt-influenced atmosphere across a large area of new residential and commercial development. Marine-grade aluminium, marine-specification coating and 316 stainless fixings are the sensible baseline there.

Bespoke metal planters of the kind we fabricate and install in Cardiff — Large black rooftop planter packed with robust grasses, sensory planting and structural perennials.

Inland, Pontcanna and Roath bring Edwardian villa gardens with generous plots, where the work is garden-scale — raised beds, bench runs and level-change retaining in Corten or coated steel.

Local conditions

Built for Cardiff

01

Bay exposure

Wind off the bay is constant rather than occasional. We restrain and ballast to suit, and keep planting depth and sail area in proportion to the shell.

02

Salt-influenced air

Even away from the immediate waterfront, coastal air shortens the life of standard finishes. Marine-specification PPC is worth the small uplift here.

03

Villa gardens

Pontcanna and Roath plots take larger, single-piece planters because access is usually good — fewer joints, cleaner lines.

Delivery & access

We deliver and install across South Wales from our UK workshop. Good vehicle access to most Cardiff properties means we can often supply longer single-piece planters than in dense city centres.

Planning & context

Cardiff Council applies greening and amenity requirements to major residential schemes. We build to the specified soil volumes and provide fabrication detail for discharge where required.

Questions

Cardiff FAQs

Do you cover South Wales?
Yes. We install nationwide with our own specialist teams, including Cardiff, Newport and the surrounding area.
What specification suits a Cardiff Bay terrace?
Marine-grade aluminium with marine-specification powder coat and 316 stainless fixings, with restraint designed for the exposure of that elevation.
Can you make a planter in one piece?
Up to three metres in a single panel length. Where access allows we deliver longer assemblies fully welded rather than jointed on site.
