ABOUT THE PROJECT
Our client needed a custom-made oversized planter with one side shaped to follow the contour of the path. Due to the large size and irregular shape, the planter was too large to be fabricated as one piece, therefore, Central Precast had to manufacture this planter in four individual pieces, two of which had slight curves on one side in order to match the shape of the path. The four pieces were then put together on site to create the irregular shape. The client went with a grey, exposed aggregate finish to compliment the landscape. Central Precast was able to create this custom precast planter in just three weeks. The finished product solved the client’s problem, with the exact measurements and shape required to fit the space.
