Trough planters are long, narrow, rectangular planters that fit perfectly on decks, porches, patios and sidewalks. Our trough planters here at Urbanscape Planters are some of our most popular planters There are many reasons that these planters are so popular and in this blog post, we’ll discuss why we think these planters might be the perfect addition to your business, storefront, home or business.

Commercial Trough Planters

Trough planters have many advantages that make them a popular choice with our customers. First of all, the narrow rectangular shape allows you to line the entire front or wall of your business with planters, while taking up less space than round or square planters with similar volume. Many store fronts have limited area to display plants. Our rectangular trough planters take up less than two feet of floor space depth. This allows plenty of room for a vibrant and welcoming array of planters and greenery.

Our trough planters, specifically our Hampton and Kingston planters, both create a beautiful, minimalistic design space for your area. They both feature wide planting areas (Hampton- 46″ wide and Kingston- 30″ wide) and large soil volume that can easily be the home to a wide of a variety of plants. So for areas that are limited in space, they are a great solution.

Many of our customers use trough planters to line the decks of their patios or businesses. Trough planters can be lined up directly next to each other to create a nearly seamless wall of planters. This can be done to provide separation between sitting areas or to act as a barrier. Again, the narrow footprint allows for a beautiful border to separate seating areas from their surroundings.

Our Kingston and Hampton planters, with their huge soil capacity and self-watering technology, give you tons of space for creativity. Their sleek and elegant design creates a beautiful visual welcome to your visitors. The possibilities are endless in terms of design and planting ideas.

Self-Watering Trough Planters

At Urbanscape, all of our planters are self-watering. What this means is that plants are hydrated via a reservoir inside the planter or pot. The planter’s reservoir is filled up weekly (or even less frequently with larger planters) and the soil draws the water up using capillary action. This type of watering offers many advantages: less water use, better plant health, fewer leaf/stem problems and less labour.
