Cost-effective modular installations of Large Wood Planters for Trees are made possible by the hidden 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum structural frame, attached to DeepStream’s trademark marine-anodized extruded T-leg to construct planters of any size rectilinear shape. The planks of the planter box are contained by the aluminum channels in the legs, not held by fasteners, allowing it to expand and contract without tearing itself apart.

Whether you choose recycled plastic lumber or tropical hardwood, all of our wood planters they are backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty and our unique Core Replacement Program which allows you to replace any damaged parts at direct manufacturer’s cost.

DeepStream Designs manufactures our Large Commercial Wood Planters for Trees to meet the demanding requirements of Landscape Architects, hotels, condominiums, public buildings, businesses, and urban dwellers who cannot afford the time, money, disruption, mess, damage, and inconvenience required to replace carpenter-built wood planters or cracking fiberglass and concrete planters again and again.

Stand-alone Large Commercial Wood Planters for Trees prevent structural damage and expensive remediation associated with leaking built-in concrete planters.

OK, the photo at left shows an extreme case, but as buildings settle, and all buildings do over time, unseen cracks appear. Also the tree roots that tear apart huge stone temples in Central America exert the same expansionary forces on buildings. Cracks allow water to run along the lines of steel rebar used in poured concrete construction, causing the rebar to rust and expand up to 20X its original size. This creates an effect called “spalling,” which cracks the concrete and wreaks the structural integrity. Correcting spalling is a very expensive and disruptive process.  Stand-alone planters in modular liners avoid this inevitable problem entirely.

I think a lot of Architects, developers, and general contractors have not lived in poured-in-place concrete buildings that are so predominant here in Miami, or they wouldn’t design or build poured-in-place concrete planters. Even with the best waterproofing systems, they will leak, and much sooner than you think. Sure, your warranty as a builder may be up, but you leave the HOA with expensive special assessments and disruption to solve the problems you could have, should have, avoided in the first place. Even if you install plastic liners with a horizontal flange over the top edge from the start, eventually every liner will fail, leading to unseen structural damage.

If you do have a building with leaking concrete slabs and you have access to the slab there are expensive, but effective, solutions that involve metal fittings inserted holes drilled along the crack lines that have hoses attached to pump in a proprietary agent under tremendous hydraulic pressure that will displace the water, run along the rebar and sealing it against further damage. We have experience with this system as a customer in one of our building so feel free to contact Sheila, (305) 857-0466 for more information. But believe us when we say it is better to avoid this process up front.

These are the planters that we created while building our own residential condominium project, where we still live today. Stop by our Coconut Grove offices and see both the problem and the solution, in person.

DeepStream's proprietary anodized aluminum legs and engineered frame system create modular Large Wood Planters for Trees in front of a wood screen wall atop a chic Miami boutique hotel.
Specifying DeepStream’s proprietary anodized aluminum legs and engineered frame system to create modular Large Wood Planters for Trees saves budget and resources, while eliminating the eventuality of structural damage to the building caused by leaking poured-in-place concrete planters.
Every DeepStream planter uses proprietary anodized aluminum legs and engineered frame system to create custom Large Wood Planters for Trees and planter liners to exact dimensions at no extra cost ,as shown here between walls atop a chic Miami boutique hotel.
At our shop, you will find skilled American craftsmen building custom planters and planter liners to the exact dimensions you need, one planter at a time. What you won’t find are assembly lines, or custom or design fees.

As a complete 3-component engineered system, the separate planter box, constructed from either natural 3/4″ thick tongue-and-groove solid tropical wood or recycled plastic lumber planks, is held by the slots in our proprietary aluminum legs, engineered to allow the natural expansion and contraction of the planks without fasteners to pull apart.

The elegance of Ipe wood and our trademark structural anodized aluminum legs never fail to visually impress. However, they are only part of the reason our Large Wood Planters for Trees provide the ideal landscaping environment for plants to thrive. The structural aircraft aluminum frame and rugged plastic planter liner with advanced drainage give the system strength and longevity, preventing wood rot, hiding drip irrigation, and preventing solar gain steaming the root ball.

Large Wood Planters for Trees use 3/4″ thick tongue-and-groove solid tropical wood or recycled plastic lumber planks are held by the slots in our proprietary aluminum legs engineered to allow the natural expansion and contraction of the planks to constrain them without fasteners to pull apart.

The internal aluminum frame houses a separate rugged, waterproof, rotomolded, UV-resistant LLDPE plastic stock planter liner, which is tapered for easy repotting and designed for advanced drainage. The gap between the planter box and the liner provides a thermal break preventing the root ball from overheating as the sun heats the outer layer of a single layer pot or planter. The gap also hides drip irrigation lines, drains, and wiring for lights.

As shown by Sheila, the President of DeepStream Designs, on a clear 80-degree day, the temperature of the outside of planks on Commercial Wood Planters, or pots, can reach 124-degrees, steaming the root ball inside, unless there is a thermal air gap between the wood planter box and waterproof liner, as found with DeepStream’s unique liner-within-a-wood-planter-box design.

DeepStream’s liner-inside-a-box provides a thermal gap so the root ball stays at air temperature and landscaping flourishes. The waterproof liner inside the planter box has advanced drainage and hides drip irrigation lines.

As with all DeepStream solutions, these large Planters for Trees are hand-built by American craftsmen and backed with a Lifetime Structural Warranty. You order and buy factory-direct for the lowest cost, while eliminating confusion and delays. Every planter is custom-built to your specifications, with volume discounts, and never a design fee.

Stability is a function of form.

It is important to consider the stability of your installation, and pick a form factor appropriate to the ultimate height and size of the tree and maximum wind conditions.  Trees such as palms, without a lot of branches and foliage, have lower wind resistance.  Palms do better on windy roof tops and terraces here in hurricane-prone Florida.  While the weight of the planted planter will keep it from blowing away, a planter with a narrow base, relative to the leverage of wind against foliage, can tip over.

As seen here on a property developer's roof terrace, DeepStream's Large Wood Garden Planters for Trees are lightweight, allowing the roof to support the maximum volume of planting medium while staying within load limits, so that even olive trees like this one are possible on a roof deck.

DeepStream Plastic Liners and 3-layer Drain Pads with TREMdrain & Biobarrier complete your Wood Planter

When selecting your outdoor garden planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact.

DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter pads. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 proprietary stock plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs, and valves may be attached.  Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.

16 different size and shaped commercial planter liners are displayed on a tropical roof top deck landscaped with green palms trees, bamboo, and podocarpus. A large man is standing on top of one of the garden planter liners to show how strong they are.
DeepStream commercial planter liners with advanced drainage.

Generally, more container-grown plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog.  DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots and allow clay “fines” in all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.

Detailed photo on a tropical roof terrace showing how easy DeepStream's tapered stock planter liners with advanced drainage make it to replant and recondition roots.
DeepStream’s tapered stock planter liners with advanced drainage make them economical to ship and easy to replant and recondition roots.

Garden Planter liners prevent the soil from contacting the wood, preventing rot, while promoting drainage. The air space the liner creates between itself and the planter box prevents the root-ball from getting warmer than the ambient air. This space also allows you to hide drip irrigation lines and wiring for lights. The tapered shape reduces shipping costs, and makes root conditioning and replanting slide-out-easy.

Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local weather, you may need to add more drains to your garden plantes.  Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls.

DeepStream’s advanced 3-Layer Drain Pad

Drain pads, when used in conjunction with clean 1-2 mm inorganic drainage material to slow the flow of the water to the drain, could prevent clogged drains for a decade or more in your garden planters. Biobarrier will not stop aggressive root systems like runner bamboo and Clusia.

Modular Custom-Welded Plastic Planter Liners are used on roof decks to landscape large areas with trees.

Large areas can be planted and easily irrigated with hidden drip irrigation inside modular planters.  When DeepStream’s cost-effective and rugged rotomolded LLDPE stock liner won’t work, we can craft custom-welded modular liners with 1/4″, 3/8″, or 1/2″ co-polypropylene, as used in the construction of large chemical tanks, or HDPE, as we use in our food-safe plastic planters. Polypropylene is extremely durable, but should be buried as even black is not UV-stable. Any color of HDPE is impervious to the sun’s UV rays.

You can add side-wall access ports for drip irrigation and drainage holes on-site with a simple hole saw. Drain Pads, proper drainage techniques to slow the water flow, and selecting appropriate planting mediums are critical when plantings are expected to be maintained for years without digging them up.

Construction techniques include double-welded gussets, shown in the bottom picture, or cross-straps, for optimum wall support.  You can add side-wall drainage holes on-site with a simple hole saw.  Drain Pads, proper drainage techniques to slow the water flow, and selecting appropriate planting mediums are critical when plantings are expected to be maintained for years without digging them up.

Custom-Welded Aluminum Large Planters for Trees.

In keeping with DeepStream’s commitment to Sustainable Design and craftsmanship, we create square and rectangular commercial-grade Aluminum Planters in a natural finish 5086 Marine alloy.

The cube form is a popular stable form for a Larger Planter for Trees. Internal side wall gussets are required on large planters, or angles welded across the middle of the plates for large trees or trees with aggressive roots. 5086 Aluminum is use in ocean-going vessels and will not crack or split.

DeepStream’s Square and Rectangular Modern Aluminum Planters are commercial Landscape Architect-grade, made with stiff 5086 3/16″ thick, or thicker as required, marine-grade aluminum, as used on yachts and commercial ships. They are the strongest and most durable aluminum planters available. Construction techniques include double-welded gussets, shown in the bottom picture, or cross-straps, for optimum wall support.

Large Planters for Trees can be constructed out of stiff 5086 marine alloy aluminum in any practical size, given the particulars of the site location and aluminum sheet size. Aluminum sheet thickness and construction techniques vary by dimension and landscaping details.

While the initial investment is higher the total lifetime cost of DeepStream’s Aluminum planters will be many times less than that of painted aluminum planters, even if you only own them for 5-10 years. It simply takes more labor to produce flawless unpainted aluminum planters, but there is no paint or powder coating to bubble and chip, failing in as little as 2 years. The more rigid and expensive 5086 marine alloy we use is, at a minimum, 3 times thicker than standard painted aluminum planters. However 5086 aluminum, left in its natural state, creates its own patina that protects it from oxidation for decades in demanding marine environments.

Tips for Landscaping Large Planters for Trees

When purchasing a Large Planter for Trees, it is critical to note that as trees grow, their root ball gets larger and larger.  With some species, the container size will limit the size of the tree; with others the root ball continues to grow.  An ever-expanding root ball will either push the tree up on a pedestal of its own roots, or push out and eventually break the liner.

If you visit the ancient jungle ruins of the Mayans and Aztecs, you will recognize that, even the giant stone blocks of the temples, weighing thousands of pounds, will be pushed apart, split, and toppled by tree roots.  Streetscapes constantly have to deal with root control.  This, along with selecting an appropriate planting mixture and micro-climates, is another important reason to consult with a Landscape Architect experienced with container gardening when planning your project.

DeepStream’s stock planter liners are roto-molded in one piece with LLDPE recycled plastic so that tree roots have no weak spots to attack.  DeepStream’s custom-welded liners used for major plantings are engineered with thicker 3/8″ co-polypropylene, or 1/2″ HDPE, as used in construction of large chemical tanks. The panels are gusseted and welded from both sides before being water-tested to ensure their ultimate durability in your project.

It is possible for plants with aggressive root systems to grow so thick that they will eventually burst any planter liner, and even bow reinforced aluminum planters and crack poured-in-place concrete planters, so it’s best to consult with a Landscape Architect when selecting your landscaping.

A rugged planter liner bulging from the roots of a 5-year-old Clusia Tree in need of a yearly root trimming.
Even the most rugged waterproof planter liner will eventually succumb to an aggressive root system. This Clusia has been removed from its liner every year for 7 years to have its roots trimmed back. The following year the roots began to rip the thick liner apart at the top rim. The long-term solution for landscaping with plants that have aggressive root systems like these are planters constructed from Corten steel or 5086 aluminum.

The bases of trees will be pushed 6-12″ higher by their roots over a five to ten year period as the trees grow to their mature height for that size planter.  Knowing that in advance, plant the root ball deeper in the planter to plan for the eventual rise and filled the recess with other plantings for the duration.

Two types of Food Safe Plastic Garden Planters

Food Safe Plastic Garden Planters welded from HDPE sheet are stronger and less expensive than fiberglass planters. Made from solid sheets of HDPE plastic, or planks of recycled plastic, they are a solid color throughout so they don’t show scratches in the same way fiberglass or painted metal planters do. HDPE will not absorb paint or dirt and as they are not painted they may be pressure washed for sanitation. Graffiti may be removed with paint remover or a light sanding so they are perfect for rugged urban street life.

DeepStream Plastic Liners and 3-layer Drain Pads with TREMdrain & Biobarrier complete your Wood Planter

When selecting your outdoor garden planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact.

DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter pads. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 proprietary stock plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs, and valves may be attached.  Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.

DeepStream Designs rugged 100% recycled Stock Plastic Planter Liners

16 different size and shaped commercial planter liners are displayed on a tropical roof top deck landscaped with green palms trees, bamboo, and podocarpus. A large man is standing on top of one of the garden planter liners to show how strong they are.
DeepStream commercial planter liners with advanced drainage.

Generally, more container-grown plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog.  DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots and allow clay “fines” in all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.

Detailed photo on a tropical roof terrace showing how easy DeepStream's tapered stock planter liners with advanced drainage make it to replant and recondition roots.
DeepStream’s tapered stock planter liners with advanced drainage make them economical to ship and easy to replant and recondition roots.

Garden Planter liners prevent the soil from contacting the wood, preventing rot, while promoting drainage. The air space the liner creates between itself and the planter box prevents the root-ball from getting warmer than the ambient air. This space also allows you to hide drip irrigation lines and wiring for lights. The tapered shape reduces shipping costs, and makes root conditioning and replanting slide-out-easy.

Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local weather, you may need to add more drains to your garden plantes.  Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls.

DeepStream’s advanced 3-Layer Drain Pad

Drain pads, when used in conjunction with clean 1-2 mm inorganic drainage material to slow the flow of the water to the drain, could prevent clogged drains for a decade or more in your garden planters. Biobarrier will not stop aggressive root systems like runner bamboo and Clusia.
