Wood planter boxes are innovative methods used by our Sydney landscape company for beautifying your house. Their portability and ease of movement make them an appropriate choice in case you do not have a lot of space for plants. You can also choose them for placing in balcony, porch and garden. The durability of wooden boxes is the most distinguishing feature.
There is a lot of variety available in the market and you can purchase different boxes based on your needs. Most people prefer wooden boxes with an attractive texture, however, these can be found in other materials too. The most important factors that need to be considered are the size of the box, its style and the holes present for water drainage. You can purchase small sized boxes for smaller shrubs while bigger ones can be bought for plants that occupy more space.
Making use of planter boxes instead of cultivating the land provides you with more flexibility. You can use a distinct type of soil for each box. This will help you with the quicker and more efficient growth of plants. It helps the plants to grow individually in each box with enough capacity for their roots to spread. But you need to make sure that the box possesses enough water drainage capability.
The flexibility of wooden planter boxes can be utilized under different weather conditions. During winters, you may need to move them quite often so they can get enough sunlight. Similarly, during hot weather, you may like to place them under a shade. Sometimes moving their place will lead to a more beautiful view of your home. All these facilities can be availed if your planter box is light weight.
The maintenance of plants growing in boxes is slightly different as compared to the ones that are planted in the garden. They may have different water and nutrient requirements as the soil in the box cannot hold water for as long. However, this extra care will give an extra amazing look to your house.
Homeowners have the option to get a hanging planter box, a bench box, an indoor box or a window planter box. These boxes occupy a smaller area and are used for limited purposes. The outdoor boxes are usually made up of long lasting wood such as redwood or teak. They offer more resistance against bad weather and remain in good condition for a longer time as compared to other woods.
Taking good care of these planter boxes means they can last longer than expected. Proper water drainage facility makes sure that the plants and boxes do not get affected. Any extra or old salient that is deposited should be washed away after a few years. This washing will clean the box. However, it is to be ensured first that the water spray does not cause wooden grains to break out.
Wooden planter boxes look real good if they are well maintained. The presence of cracks or edges is never appreciated. So these issues should be solved as soon as they arise. You can also color them easily to make them look more attractive.
