To your prospective customers, the Restaurant Planters outside your restaurant establish their expectation about the food, service, and cleanliness inside. We recommend that you’re better off not buying planters than to have shabby, poorly maintained ones around your property.
DeepStream Designs manufactures landscape architect-grade Restaurant Planters out of tropical hardwood, no-maintenance recycled plastic lumber, aluminum, and rugged custom-welded HDPE plastic. Commercial Restaurant Planters and coordinating fixtures are a complete system, engineered and handcrafted by DeepStream in America to meet the demanding standards of fine dining restaurants.
Our entire line of commercial restaurant planters will delineate an outdoor seating area, controlling access, and act as planter dividers between seating areas creating intimate upscale exterior spaces with the same exacting attention to form and function details as your interior spaces. Slide-in-easy logo panels add to your restaurants branding at critical eye level, capturing your prospective customers attention, while reducing overall costs.
Our custom restaurant planters use nature to maximize customers’ attraction and comfort, while minimizing maintenance costs adding to the bottom line. DeepStream’s commitment to the principles of sustainable design provide the lowest total cost of ownership for both your business and the environment. We also wholesale high-quality commercial FRP fiberglass and GFRC concrete planters, aluminum, and food safe plastic commercial planters.
Our Custom Restaurant Planters are available as both individual planters and as money-saving modular multi-section planters. The structural aluminum frame is engineered to hold waterproof liners and allow practical Planters with Gates, Planters on Wheels, and Planters with Screen Wall attached.
Don’t confuse our commercial Wood Restaurant Planters with carpenter-built boxes that will fall apart in 3-5 years. DeepStream’s Wood Restaurant Planters are a complete engineered 3-part planter system with replaceable parts and Lifetime Structural Warranty:
- Anodized extruded aluminum legs, with no paint or powder coating to fail, are engineered to eliminate fasteners and contain the tremendous expansionary forces of wood as it cycles through countless wet and dry cycles. The legs support the hidden structural aircraft aluminum frame and are isolated from surfaces by replaceable HDPE plastic feet.
- A separate planter box with an almost unlimited choice of panel materials, including ever-popular tropical hardwood and maintenance-free recycled plastic lumber. The planter box provides an air gap between it and the liner, which prevents solar gain from heating the root ball and hides drip irrigation and drainage systems.
- Rugged waterproof, food-safe, UV-resistant, 100% recycled LLDPE plastic rotomolded planter liners with advanced drainage and threaded drain ports.
DeepStream’s Restaurant Planters with wooden, or maintenance-free recycled plastic, boxes are engineered with our trademark marine-anodized aluminum legs creating a hidden structural aluminum frame that supports a waterproof liner with advanced drainage. This unique frame is designed to mount accessories like casters, trellises, gates, lighting, and screen wall for windbreaks, privacy, or security while hiding drip irrigation and drainage systems and wiring for lights or enclosing stereo speakers.

Whether you are creating a sidewalk cafe on a busy street or quiet courtyard space, DeepStream knows it is critical that your potential customer receive an inviting visual message from the space created by our Restaurant Planters that is consistent with your own commitment to a quality dining experience inside. Ugly, rotting wood planters that are falling apart, or chipped and scratched fiberglass planters in front of your restaurant are worse than no planters at all.
When space is at a premium for your sidewalk cafe, DeepStream has 12″ and 18″ wide planters with a separate plastic liner inside the outer facade which incorporates state-of-the-art drainage. The rugged rotomolded liner ensures maximum durability, as the planting medium never touches the wood and the harshest sun does not bake the root ball, which causes unsightly plantings. Our design also easily conceals labor and water-saving drip irrigation lines between the liner and box.
Our attractive, low-maintenance planters use nature to delineate additional seating space in an urban environment. We have the planters and custom fixtures you have been looking for if your successful, busy, upscale restaurant cannot afford the time, money, disruption, mess, damage, and inconvenience required to replace carpenter-built wood or lightweight fiberglass planters again and again as they tear themselves apart in just a few years.
With DeepStream’s unique Mariner and Audubon aluminum planter frames, you can add wood, aluminum, 3form Eco-Resin, or glass screen wall as a windbreak to provide privacy, quiet noise, and extend your season, while controlling access with Planters with Gates.
Planters boxes crafted with recycled plastic lumber, natural 5086 marine aluminum, slate, marble, or heavy-weight HDPE plastic are no-maintenance and can be pressure cleaned, as our planter legs are anodized aluminum with no paint or powder coating to fail.
DeepStream’s Restaurant Planters are an investment in the appearance of your property, and also in Sustainable Design, so we sell our Restaurant planters direct to customers, eliminating the distributor markup. This allows us to use the best materials and American craftsmanship which, combined with our plastic liner-inside-a-planter-box design, means that our planters will last for generations, providing the lowest cost of ownership over time, while lowering the impact on the earth’s resources. Every planter sold by DeepStream generates 50 trees planted in return by the non-profit Trees for the Future.
To ensure your Restaurant Planter project will be successful, DeepStream sells direct, and a principal of DeepStream will be working directly with you and your team to ensure a stress-free and successful completion of even the most complex projects. With thousands of installations, we understand your unique challenges and will work to ensure our custom Restaurant Planters will delight both you and your customers for years to come.
The importance of visual presentation to your customers’ first impression of your Restaurant cannot be overstated. Your success is our success, so DeepStream partners with you in maintaining the appearance of your project for the long haul. Our Lifetime Structural Warranty and unique Core Replacement Program for parts at manufacturer’s cost will help you maintain your Restaurant Planters for the lowest total cost of ownership over time.

Wood Planters Require separate planter liners to keep the planter box from rotting — we can not emphasize this enough.
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
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.
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.
Custom Planter Liners
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.

Tips for improving Planter Drainage
Drain packs must be used in conjunction with a proper planting medium for container gardening, and inorganic filtering material to slow the drainage water so that any clay “fines” that could coat the geotextile will instead settle to the bottom of the liner below the side-wall drain.
- When selecting your outdoor 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. The design of the planter liner is one of the important components.
- Generally, more tended 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, but more importantly, that space allows clay “fines” present in all most all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
- DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter packs. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 stock proprietary 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.
- Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local climate, you may need to add more drains. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls with a hole saw bit. If additional threaded ports are needed we stock two-part watertight bulkhead fittings.
- Planting mediums for container gardening are as varied as local climates and plant species. Here in Florida, we can get 6” of rain in a day in the rainy season, so we need a quick draining material and we often add perlite. If you have a dry climate, you may need to add more vermiculite to retain water. Since Florida also has a dry season where it my not rain for a month or more at a time, we use drip irrigation, as the planting medium we use for the rainy season dries out far too quickly during the dry season. For more in-depth information on drip irrigation, drainage, and the many aspects of container gardening check the Helpful Resource Links to planterblog.com listed at the bottom of this page.
