Massarelli's Urban Planter

Because of its significant weight, this planter requires a level, solid surface such as a concrete patio, stone paver area, or a reinforced deck. We strongly recommend placing it in its final location before filling it with soil, as moving it once planted will be extremely difficult.

Massarelli's stone planters are durable and designed for year-round outdoor use. While they do not strictly require sealing, applying a concrete sealer can help maintain the finish and protect against staining or mineral deposits over time.

Yes, the planter includes a built-in drainage hole to prevent water from pooling at the roots. For larger plantings, we recommend adding a layer of gravel or drainage rock at the bottom of the vessel before adding soil to ensure optimal water flow and root health.

Yes, this stone construction is designed to withstand the elements. However, to prevent potential cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, ensure the drainage hole remains clear and consider elevating the planter slightly off the ground using pot feet to allow water to escape freely.

With a height of 30 inches, this planter offers significant depth, making it ideal for root systems that require more space, such as small ornamental trees, large shrubs, or deep-rooted perennials.
