Our innovative SuDS Planters are expertly designed to address the complex drainage needs of urban environments, making them a perfect fit for a variety of settings.

Our SuDS Planters are ideal for:

• new developments,
• residential,
• commercial,
• and school applications - whether built on or off-site.

Designed for external use, our Rain Planters are a standout solution for managing stormwater sustainably. They are particularly beneficial for urban areas where conventional drainage systems might be overwhelmed during heavy rainfall, thus mitigating flood risks and enhancing the urban landscape.

Applications include:

• Urban Developments: Our planters integrate seamlessly with the aesthetics and functional requirements of urban planning, offering a green solution to manage runoff effectively.
• Residential Areas: Enhancing outdoor living spaces while providing critical stormwater management, our planters are an attractive addition to homes, apartment complexes, and residential communities.
• Commercial Spaces: Ideal for offices, retail complexes, and hospitality venues, our planters not only serve as an effective drainage solution but also enhance the visual appeal and environmental quality of commercial properties.
• Educational Institutions: Schools, colleges, and universities can benefit from our planters by incorporating them into campus landscapes as educational tools for sustainability and biodiversity while addressing drainage needs. We designed, built, and installed 564 SuDS Rain Planters across London's most flood-prone schools. Our partnership with the Greater London Authority (GLA), the Department for Education (DfE), and Thames Water in the Climate Resilient Schools program has been recognised at the prestigious Flood and Coast Awards.
• Public Spaces and Parks: Our planters can be used to beautify and improve the functionality of public spaces, offering a natural solution to stormwater management that promotes biodiversity and air quality.

Each SuDS Planter is fully customisable in terms of size, shape, and colour, ensuring that it can be tailored to fit the specific needs and aesthetic preferences of any project. With low maintenance requirements and significant environmental benefits, our Rain Garden Planters are an excellent investment in sustainable urban development and environmental stewardship.

Our steel SuDS Planters are manufactured at our workshop in the UK from FSC-certified timber, ensuring both quality and sustainability for your outdoor space.
