Livingreen’s involvement started back in April 2011 when we were asked by Kings Landscapes to look at some designs for innovative large planting beds 5.5m long x 2m wide, combining areas for growing vegetables with large tree pits.

Every item you see here in my Etsy shop has been custom designed for an individual client of mine. And if I get the opportunity to work with you, I will design and fabricate exactly what you want / need for your landscaping project. I specialize in large, very custom corten steel and aluminum raised planter beds and planter boxes. My DIY raised planter beds and planter boxes are built in sections to be assembled by you or your landscape team on-site. My DIY planters and beds assemble very easily as I pre-install riv-nuts. All assembly hardware is hidden from the outside view once your planter is assembled. In addition, I build in both top and bottom edge flanges (90 degree bends) for increased rigidity. I also build in a top edge inner return for aesthetics. This return provides an extra touch of visual refinement. I use a robust 14 gauge corten steel as my standard material. All my work comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY. And I offer VOLUME DISCOUNTS for 2 or more planters. Please contact me with your project details. You can contact me through the message button in my Etsy shop or you can call me directly at 561.451.7498. Regards, Scott

Corten steel is a durable material for raised-bed kitchen gardens that will develop a weathered look over time. Here's why we love it for garden design.
Beautifully designed, handmade heavy-duty steel trough planters. 💪🏻 Prime heavy-duty corten steel 🖐🏻 Handmade in Britain by professional fabricators 💗 Range of sizes to suit every job 💦 Drainage hole at the bottom 📦 Delivered direct to your door 👍 No assembly required 🔧 Zero maintenance 🤑 Unbelievable value! These handsome trough planters are a perfect addition to your garden and outdoor spaces. Not only are they stunning, they are built to last, made using the finest heavy duty British steel! Available in multiple sizes to suit every job. If we don't have your size then please get in touch, we can make to order. We laser cut the steel to ensure our design is precisely and consistently replicated for each item. Once the laser cutting is complete, we use computer aided technology to fold the sheet steel to form the sides of the trough. When we have folded the steel we complete the fabrication of the trough by hand using only the best, qualified fabricators who take immense pride in their work. Each trough has a double folded return lip feature. A lot of similar products on the market leave a steel edge, or a single fold. We have opted for a double fold for several reasons: 1. It’s a much higher quality, premium finish, 2. It gives the trough unbelievable strength and rigidity, and 3. It just looks so much better! We fully seam weld the corners and connecting sides and spend the time and effort to linish the welds to provide amazing corner and edge detail. Because these are handmade items by our professional fabricators each trough is ever so slightly unique adding to the charm of this product. The base is stich welded into the inside of the trough to the bottom folds mean all you see when the planter is in use in the folded steel corner of the planter disappearing underneath. We have included drainage holes in the bottom of the planter to give adequate drainage to your plants. We can produce without drainage holes on request. The troughs are available in a raw steel finish as standard. This finish develops a beautiful unique orange patina over time. We can powder coat your planter to any RAL colour on request. There is an additional charge of this depding on the size of the planter. We zinc prime the steel as an undercoat before coating with your desired colour to give long lasting durable finish. These products are suitable for domestic, commercial, indoor and outdoor use. No maintenance is required unlike wooden or plastic alternatives! All you have to do to is fill with soil, plant your chosen plants and enjoy for years to come! Due to the natural weathering process the “run off” from rainwater and watering may stain the surface the planter is placed upon. This a higher risk during the 1st 6 months of the weathering process. The planter can take 6 to 9 months to develop a full orange patina finish. Where possible we have started this process for you, planters could be delivered in various stages of the weathering process from new steel to full patina. We make everything to order. Lead time is 2 to 3 week but we always aim to delivery before then. Powder coated finsihes will add some time onto the lead time, please enquire about this for more info. All dimension are in milimeters and in Length x Width x Height format. For example, the planter option 2000 x 500 x 600 is 2000mm long, 500mm Wide and 600mm high. All sizes come with 15mm feet which gives the impression of the planter hovering above the surface you place it on. If you do not want feet or drainage holes, please include this request in your notes when ordering or message us separately. Once production is stated we may not be able to accommodate requests.

A Sturdy Solution to Successful Slope Plantings Perforated steel lets you easily bend to your desired shape Grow successfully on slopes and hillsides Weathers to an attractive & protective rust patina This simple but innovative planter makes it easier than ever to grow on a slope. Acting as a mini-terrace, our Corten Steel Hillside Planters create a sturdy and durable berm that prevents soil erosion and helps to slow and sink water, allowing you to fill your slope with flowers, shrubs, or even trees without fear that they will wash away down the hill. Use several to stagger your plantings and prevent more runoff. Not only will it add beauty to your landscape, the established plants’ roots can add stability to your hillside. The Corten steel arrives flat, in its natural gray state. Folding along the perforations in the steel, you can adjust the planter to the shape that works best for your slope. Over time, the material will develop a distinctive patina of rust that protects the base metal from corrosion. The pointed design allows for easy installation. Simply insert into the ground, then gently pound with a rubber mallet to the desired depth.

Crafted from prime 16 gauge American steel, our box planters will be the perfect addition to any outdoor decor. Corten steel is also known as weathering steel. The surface of corten steel will develop an ever-changing and unique patina (where a dense layer of iron oxide essentially penetrates the steel and slows the corrosion process.) PATINA PROCESS: The patina (or rust) acts as a protective barrier. The process occurs when water is introduced to the material. Our planters come fully assembled. *Please note that all of our planters are shipped in their RAW STATE. WARNING: Weathering steel products may produce carbon run off or staining to adjacent materials like stone or concrete. The stone and concrete can be cleaned with a carbon pacifier to remove any residual run off. After the initial reactive period, weathering steel will cure and self-seal with very little to no carbon run off.
