Custom Planters for Balconies & Gardens
Built to fit your space exactly, with drainage that actually works.
Custom wooden planters are quoted per project. I measure your space, design the planter around your plants and weight limits, build it from exterior-grade timber, and deliver and place it.
Well-designed planters change how a balcony or garden feels. Custom-built ones let you make the most of the space, improve drainage, and create a clean, intentional look — which matters most in apartments where every centimetre counts.
I design and build custom wooden planters sized specifically for your home, your plants and your aesthetic. Each one is built to last.

Could not recommend Jesse more highly. He's a true professional from start to finish - communicative, punctual, and his craftsmanship is excellent. He also cleaned up thoroughly after each day's work, leaving the space spotless. If you're looking for a painter who takes pride in the details, Jesse is your guy.

Questions people ask
How much does a planter cost?
It depends entirely on size, timber and design, so I quote per project rather than quoting a number that turns out to be wrong. Send me photos and dimensions and you'll have a real figure quickly.
Will it survive a Tel Aviv summer on an exposed balcony?
With the right timber and a protective finish, yes — and I'll tell you what maintenance it will need rather than pretending it needs none.
