Do you install in Scotland?

Yes. We install nationwide with our own specialist teams, including across Edinburgh and central Scotland.

How do your planters cope with Scottish winters?

Drainage is the key. We build voids and free outlets so water never sits in the base, and use coatings rated for the exposure.

Can you avoid fixing into listed stonework?

Yes — free-standing planters with internal ballast and bracing carry substantial planting with no penetration of historic fabric.

Bespoke metal planters in Edinburgh

Edinburgh sets two hard constraints: a World Heritage centre where almost nothing visible is unregulated, and a climate that puts real freeze-thaw and wind loading on anything outdoors. Both push the specification the same way — solid, well-drained construction and finishes chosen for durability rather than fashion.

Bespoke metal planters of the kind we fabricate and install in Edinburgh — L-shaped corner planter in matte anthracite with layered shade planting against new brickwork.

In the New Town we build discreet, dark-finished planters for basement areas, roof terraces and communal drying greens. At Leith and Fountainbridge the work is contemporary and larger in scale.

Local conditions

Built for Edinburgh

World Heritage context

Anything visible in the New Town or Old Town needs to be quiet: matte dark finishes, simple profiles and concealed fixings that do not compete with the stonework.

Freeze-thaw drainage

Standing water in a planter base is what kills planting and coatings in a Scottish winter. We build proper drainage voids and free outlets as standard rather than as an upgrade.

Leith waterfront

Waterfront schemes face Forth wind and salt air, so marine-grade aluminium and 316 fixings are the sensible default.

Delivery & access

We deliver and install across Scotland with our own teams. Central Edinburgh installs are planned around access restrictions and the city's tight loading arrangements, with sections sized for stair or lift access.

Planning & context

Listed building consent and conservation controls apply widely across central Edinburgh. We supply the drawings and finish specifications your architect needs, and design free-standing solutions that avoid fixing into historic stone.
