In 2018, we decided to look into replacing our heavy cement planters with self-watering planters.   The city is continually expanding plantings in existing and new parks, and our time spent watering planters and hanging baskets was eating into our time needed for planting and maintenance.  2021 marks our third year replacing existing planters.  We have found that the use of Urbanscape self-watering planters has cut our time spent watering by two-thirds.  Our hanging baskets (over 60) alone required watering every day and sometimes twice a day, including weekends.  Now we are able to water them once a week except during extended periods of extreme heat, when we water twice a week.  The large planters only need watering every 7 – 10 days depending on the weather.  I have been very pleased with the product.  When we received two or three planters that did not fill the reservoir with water, they were replaced without any question.  This year’s order will complete the replacement of all of our old planters and baskets and additional planters are being purchased as well.  The watering is now a much easier task and the plants flourish, even in the hottest weather.  It has been a pleasure to work with Peter and Urbanscape Planters.
