Custom Planters for Balconies & Gardens

Built to fit your space exactly, with drainage that actually works.

Quoted per project

Quoted per project rather than from a fixed price — a custom planter involves design, materials, build time and delivery, and those vary a lot.

Typically a few days, depending on the design

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.

What's included

  • Measuring the balcony or garden space
  • Discussing plant types, weight limits and layout
  • Designing the dimensions and configuration
  • Building with durable wood and hardware
  • Preparing for drainage and airflow
  • Sanding, finishing, delivery and placement

How it goes

  1. Measure the space and discuss plants, weight limits and layout
  2. Design the dimensions, then build with reinforced joints
  3. Prepare drainage and airflow, sand and finish
  4. Deliver and place

Worth knowing before we start

  • Wood outdoors needs periodic maintenance
  • Balconies have weight limits that have to be respected
  • Sun and rain exposure affects how long it lasts
  • Very large planters may need reinforcement
  • Drainage planning is essential to avoid water sitting in the base

I'll always explain any limitations clearly before starting work.

What changes the price

  • Size and number of planters
  • Wood type and thickness
  • Complexity of the design
  • Finishing or sealing

For an accurate quote, send me:

  • Photos of the space
  • Approximate dimensions
  • The plants you're planning to use
Tools and materials I use
  • Solid wood or exterior-grade wood panels
  • Galvanised or stainless steel screws
  • Structural reinforcements where needed
  • Optional protective oils or sealants
Why people have this done
  • Efficient use of limited balcony space
  • Proper depth for healthy root growth
  • Better drainage than most store-bought planters
  • Natural warmth and texture that complements furniture and railings
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.

Ready when you are

Send a photo and a sentence about what you need. You'll get a real price back, usually the same day.
