Large Self Watering Planters- Urbanscape

Are you looking for large self watering planters? In this article, we’ll highlight some of our most popular large planters and explain a bit about how self-watering planters work. We’ll also suggest reasons why spending a bit more money upfront on larger planters may save you substantially in the long-run.

What are the benefits of large self watering planters?

Self-watering planters are planters that are filled once every couple of weeks with a garden hose. The water fills an interior reservoir and then feeds the plant slowly over the next 2-3 weeks. The larger the planter, the more water it can hold and the less labour it takes to keep your plants looking beautiful and healthy. Also, large commercial planters can be used to provide a barrier between parking/traffic areas and storefronts. This added buffer-zone can double as a security feature for the front of your store. Many of our customers line their planters next to one another to provide an attractive and practical welcome to their store.

Also, in municipal or public areas, larger planters are more difficult to move or vandalize. Our planters durable polyethylene design makes them more resistant to vandalism and breakage than traditional concrete planters.

Why spend more for a large commercial planter?

You may ask yourself why spend the extra money for a commercial planter. Why not just buy a planter at your local garden center? There are a variety of reasons for this:

Larger commercial planters are generally larger, more sturdy and are more well-built.
Larger planters can act as a more substantial buffer zone between parking areas and your store-front.
They can line sidewalks and parking lots in municipal areas
They last longer and they are more resistant to chips, cracks and other failures.
All our planters are crafted from weather resistant thick gauge polyethylene
Better UV protection
Our planters are more weather resistant and sturdy.
Retail outlets often only carry a few planters in stock. With commercial planters, larger orders are possible for municipalities and urban areas.

So how big are they?

Our planters come in a variety of sizes, perfect for any location. Some of our largest planters, like the Silhouette Low Bowl, the Kingston and Hampton planters, can hold more than 15 gallons of water and more than 5 cubic feet of soil. These beautiful, large planters will keep your plants watered for weeks, reducing labour and water costs. In traditional planters, water evaporates from the top layer of soil and from the leaves of plants due to the plants being watered from above. Our planter technology ensure a slow, steady supply of water from the bottom up, reducing surface evaporation and pooling.
