Yes, we do. Our range includes urban benches with a central planter designed for flowers, shrubs, and small trees. I’ll walk you through the main options so you can see what fits your site.
The standard design is a modular bench where the seating sections are connected to a central planter box. That planter can be configured as a square, rectangular, or round unit depending on the bench style. For flowers and seasonal planting, we normally use a soil depth of around 300–450 mm. For trees, we recommend a deeper root zone—usually 600–900 mm—so the tree has room to establish without damaging the bench structure. This type of planter bench combo is especially popular for pedestrian streets, transit stops, and park entrances.
Materials are an important part of the decision. Most clients choose a powder-coated galvanised steel frame with hardwood or aluminium slats for the seating. The planter itself can be made from corten steel, powder-coated steel, glass-reinforced concrete, or FSC-certified hardwood. This commercial planter bench range is built for high-traffic areas, so we use anti-corrosion treatments and vandal-resistant fixings as standard.
Drainage is built in. We include drainage outlets and a filter layer so excess water can escape without washing soil onto the pavement. If you need a tree planter bench, we can increase the planter depth and add a root barrier, irrigation access, or a tree grate around the trunk. These details make a big difference in streetscape projects and commercial landscapes.
You also asked about flowers or trees, so it is worth mentioning that the planter can be split into two functions if needed. Some clients use one side for low planting and the other side for a small tree, especially in longer central planter units. We can adjust the internal partition, soil volume, and planting depth to match your landscape architect’s specification.
In terms of sizing, our urban benches with a central planter are available in standard lengths from about 1800 mm to 3600 mm, but we regularly produce custom lengths and curved versions. Seat height is typically 450 mm, with backrest and armrest options. The outdoor bench with planter can also be supplied with a backrest, armrests, or a curved layout. The planter width is usually between 500 mm and 1000 mm, which gives enough space for root growth while still leaving comfortable legroom for people sitting on both sides.
If the bench will be installed in a public space, we recommend a surface-mounted or root-fixed installation. The planter weight helps stabilise the unit once it is filled with soil, but we still anchor the frame to prevent movement. For paved areas, a surface-mounted plate is usually sufficient. For soft landscaping, we suggest extended root brackets or a concrete pad.
Maintenance is straightforward. The seating surfaces can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and the planter should be inspected seasonally for drainage, soil levels, and plant health. If the planter has a tree, we recommend checking the trunk tie and root collar once or twice a year.
To answer your question directly: yes, we offer urban benches with a central planter for flowers or trees. If you can share the approximate size, tree species or planting scheme, and your preferred material, we can recommend a specific model or prepare a custom drawing. Most of these benches are made to order, so lead times are usually between four and eight weeks depending on finish and quantity.
