About Sussex Planter
At 122 x 114 cm, LS7061/122 is sized for mature feature trees rather than shrubs. It has the depth for a substantial root ball and the visual weight to hold its own against a broad facade, a long wall or a wide expanse of paving. LS7061/109 steps down to 109 x 69 cm, still deep enough for a large screening hedge or a wide-canopy specimen, and the simpler of the two to position once a garden is planted and paved.
Natural grey Light Stone sits quietly next to traditional masonry, off-form concrete and timber decking, which is why most projects leave it exactly as it arrives. Where a colour scheme is already settled, we colour match in our Malaga workshop and coat the container in any Dulux shade you select for an additional 25%. The composite takes Perth heat and coastal salt air without fading or flaking, so a tall specimen can sit out the summer in it.
Empty weights of 150 kg and 250 kg put the Sussex among the substantial pieces in our oversize planters collection, and that mass earns its keep once the planter is in place: a tall tree stays steady in coastal wind with nothing drilled or anchored. It is a container you site once and leave. Come and see both sizes set side by side at the Malaga showroom to judge the step between them, ask us about Perth delivery, or contact us about a product or project and we will sort out getting it to you.
Common questions
Which plants suit each of the two sizes?
The 109 x 69 size suits mature architectural shrubs such as Japanese maple, olive trees or dense camellias. The 122 x 114 takes large ornamental trees, mature frangipanis and weeping figs with extensive root systems.
Does the weight do anything useful once the planter is in place?
It does. Empty weights of 150 kg and 250 kg, before any potting mix or tree goes in, keep the mass low. Tall specimens hold steady through strong coastal gusts with no bolting or permanent anchoring, which matters on tiled terraces and finished paving where you would rather not drill.
How do we get the 122 x 114 size into position?
Decide where it is going before it arrives, because at 250 kg empty it is not a piece you shuffle around afterwards. Allow a clear opening of at least 1200 to 1300 mm and measure the narrowest point on the way in, including gate widths, stair turns and any fixed obstacles. Most gardens take it comfortably with a trolley and a few pairs of hands. We deliver across the Perth metro area, so call the showroom with your access details and we will sort out getting it to you.
