Service Details

At Grass and Things Hardscaping, we build custom planters that do more than hold plants. A well-made planter adds shape, color, and structure to your yard. It can soften a hardscape, define outdoor spaces, and make your property feel finished. We design and install planters that fit your layout, match your style, and work with the rest of your landscape.

Planters are one of the best ways to add life to an outdoor space without a full landscape overhaul. They work well around patios, paver walkways, pool decks, artificial turf, outdoor kitchens, and entryways. We can build low-profile planter borders for a clean modern look or raised planter beds that create more depth and visual interest. Whether you want a simple accent feature or a larger custom planter system, we make sure it looks great and functions the right way.

What our planter service includes

We handle the full process from planning to installation. We start by looking at your space, drainage, sun exposure, grade, and how the planter will tie into nearby features like pavers, retaining walls, turf, rock, or decorative gravel. From there, we help you choose the right size, shape, height, and material for the job.

Our planter installations can include:

  • Raised planters
  • Built-in planter boxes
  • Garden border planters
  • Decorative planters for front yards and backyards
  • Planters integrated with paver patios and walkways
  • Planters around artificial grass areas
  • Modern linear planters
  • Natural-style stone or block planters
  • Planting soil preparation and fill
  • Drainage solutions to protect the planter and surrounding area

Custom design that fits your property

No two yards are the same, so we do not treat planters like a one-size-fits-all feature. We build around your home’s style, your available space, and how you want to use the area. Some customers want a clean border to separate turf from hardscape. Others want a focal point near the entry, mailbox, pool, or outdoor living area. We can also create planters that help break up wide open spaces and give the yard a more polished layout.

We pay attention to proportion, balance, and placement. A planter should look like it belongs there, not like it was added as an afterthought. That is why we take time to make sure the lines, heights, and finishes all work together with the rest of your project.

Material options

We install planter structures using durable materials that hold up well outdoors and complement the rest of the landscape. Depending on the design, we may use block, stone, concrete-based materials, paver-style systems, or finishes that coordinate with your existing hardscaping. If your yard already has pavers, travertine, retaining walls, or artificial turf, we can match the planter design so everything feels connected.

Our goal is always the same: build a planter that looks clean, lasts a long time, and adds value to the space.

Built for function, not just looks

A good planter should not only look nice. It also needs to perform well over time. That is why we pay close attention to the construction side of the project. Proper base prep, drainage, soil separation, and clean finishing matter. If these things are skipped, planters can shift, stain, crack, or hold too much water. We do the job the right way so your planter stays solid and your plants have a better environment to grow in.

We also consider practical details like irrigation access, overflow control, root space, and how the planter will affect nearby surfaces. When needed, we can coordinate the planter design with the rest of your landscaping so the finished area is easier to maintain and more enjoyable to use.

Benefits of adding planters

  • Adds curb appeal and visual interest
  • Creates clean borders and defines outdoor spaces
  • Brings color and texture to pavers, turf, and stone areas
  • Helps organize large or open yard layouts
  • Can improve privacy and screening when used with taller plants
  • Raises planting areas for easier care and better presentation
  • Completes the overall look of a front yard or backyard

Ideal for new projects and upgrades

Planters can be installed as part of a full hardscape or artificial grass project, or they can be added later to upgrade an existing yard. If your outdoor space feels flat, unfinished, or too plain, custom planters are a smart way to improve the look without starting from scratch. They pair especially well with synthetic turf, paver patios, decorative rock, and modern landscape layouts.

Because we have years of hands-on experience with landscaping, artificial grass, putting greens, pavers, travertine, and more, we know how to make each feature work together. That experience helps us build planter systems that do not just look good on their own, but improve the entire space.
