The Sussex Planter delivers monumental scale, substantial depth, and grounding weight for demanding architectural landscapes, civic plazas, and broad residential gardens. Available in two expansive sizes—LS7061/109 (109 x 69, weighing 150 kg) and LS7061/122 (122 x 114, weighing 250 kg)—the series provides the physical mass and planting volume required for mature feature trees, large screening hedges, and wide-canopy plantings.
Finished in classic natural grey, the Light Stone container integrates comfortably with traditional masonry, modern off-form concrete, and natural timber decking. For landscape projects requiring exact architectural colour schemes, custom coating in any selected Dulux shade is available upon request with a 25% addition.

What plant selections suit the Sussex Planter formats?
The 109 x 69 size suits mature architectural shrubs like Japanese maple, olive trees, or dense camellias, while the 122 x 114 model easily accommodates large ornamental trees, mature frangipanis, and weeping figs with extensive root systems.
How should drainage be installed in these large planters?
Ensure the base drainage outlets are unobstructed. Cover the holes with durable synthetic flyscreen mesh, add a 15 cm to 20 cm bed of coarse blue metal aggregate, and lay a sheet of permeable geotextile fabric across the stone before filling with open, free-draining potting soil.
How does the substantial physical weight benefit open outdoor installations?
With tare weights of 150 kg and 250 kg before adding potting mix and trees, the Sussex Planter provides natural low-centre-of-gravity ballast. This helps secure tall specimens against strong coastal gusts without requiring floor bolting or permanent anchoring.
What process is involved for custom Dulux colour finishes?
Clients can specify any standard colour code from the Dulux architectural swatch range. Our workshop applies a durable exterior-grade Dulux coating on request, ensuring exact alignment with building facades or project branding.
How should the natural grey and Dulux painted surfaces be maintained?
Rinse exterior surfaces with low-pressure water from a garden hose and clean gently with a soft sponge and mild neutral liquid soap. Avoid steel wire brushes, aggressive chemical solvents, or high-pressure spray wands to protect both natural grey and painted finishes.
