Iron Wall Planters

For the perfect—and practical—finishing touch to your landscape design, consider custom ordering iron wall planters from Exterior Worlds. Our planter boxes, built to last and built to your specifications, could add the final element to the overall look and atmosphere you want to create.

Iron wall planters can be made in any shape, color or style, thus becoming the just-right accessory for your yard. While the typical shapes are square or rectangular, we can fabricate them to fit any nook you might have on your wall or fence. Even the really oddly-shaped places.

With colors, you have a wide-ranging palette that goes from authentic metal hues to cheery colors. Your options of styles run the gamut of decorative periods from a Greek or Egyptian motif to today’s whimsical patterns.

We make our iron wall planters from aluminum, steel or copper. For ease of maintenance and durability, we can galvanize or powder-coat them. And in consideration of those plants that do not thrive in wet soil, we are careful to drill holes in the bottom for drainage purposes.

These planters are particularly fitting when they match or accentuate other iron elements you have already chosen. Exterior Worlds has used ornamental iron, also called wrought iron, for such structural uses as garden gazebos, doors, door panels, screens, window grilles, handrails, banisters, balconies, column capitals, copings, pilasters and outdoor water fountains.

For purposes of functional ornamentation, our clients have also used ornamental iron for landscape lighting fixtures, wrought iron driveway gates, gate ornaments, door knockers, door handles, hinges, curtain rods, andirons and fireplace tools, gratings, partitions, benches, outdoor tables and other custom furniture.

Accents and accessories include such ornamental iron pieces as antique wrought iron rosettes, mirror frames, sculptures, gargoyles and wrought iron wall elements.

While we have found that iron pieces work in almost any landscape, we think wrought iron goes especially well in gardens that have a particular theme. A perfectly placed ornamental iron arbor enlivens and accentuates a Mediterranean landscape design, for example. In a similar way, a wrought iron trellis seems to belong among the riotous colors of an English garden design. A formal landscape design, with its gravel paths and meticulous manicuring, invite the straight lines and embellishments of wrought iron garden gates and wrought iron fences done in a Baroque pattern, for example.

Ornamental iron has a long history as a decorative art, beginning in The Middle Ages. Even though today in our landscape products, true wrought iron has been set aside in favor of mild steel and electric welding is preferred over the hammer and anvil, it is as if it is possible to still see how fire transforms a metal rod into its many amazing contortions. With ornamental iron, the heat and history are palpable. And the artistry is made solid and immutable.

Ornamental iron establishes an enduring beauty within your landscape design. Let Exterior Worlds draw upon our wealth of ornamental iron works, including custom-made iron wall planters, to integrate these inspired decorative trimmings, finely executed artistry and scrupulous designs into your landscape.
