How tall should raised garden beds be?

Standard garden beds are 300-450mm (12-18 inches). For accessibility or to avoid bending, 600-750mm (24-30 inches) is ideal. We build to whatever height works for your gardening style and physical needs.

Do concrete planters need drainage?

Absolutely. We install drainage holes and gravel layers in every planter to prevent waterlogging. Poor drainage is the #1 killer of plants in raised beds — and the #1 cause of concrete planter cracking from freeze-thaw cycles.

Concrete planters and raised garden beds add structure to your landscape while solving practical problems like poor soil, drainage issues, and accessibility. We build them as standalone features or integrated into decks, patios, and retaining walls. Poured concrete and concrete block planters last decades longer than wood raised beds and never rot, warp, or need replacement.
