If you would like to add to your curb appeal, you have many options to choose from. One thing you should consider is installing custom planters. You can then fill the planters with plants and/or beautiful flowers. Keep reading to learn more so you can get started purchasing and having your custom planters installed. 

Benefits of Custom Planters

There are many benefits of choosing custom planters for curb appeal. They are much easier to use when compared to planting plants and/or flowers in the soil. You also do not have to worry about pulling a lot of weeds, and you do not have to use mulch around the flowers, which can be time-consuming and expensive. 

One big benefit is that it can save you a lot of money if you choose custom planters. You may be considering increasing your curb appeal in other ways, such as adding lighting, installing large gardening rocks, etc. Custom planters are much less expensive when compared to these things. If you are not experienced at gardening, you will find custom planters are easier to care for. You do not have to use as much water when watering the plants and you do not have to use as much fertilizer. In many cases, you do not have to use any fertilizer if you choose healthy soil. 

Types of Custom Planters

When you start looking for planters you have many options. Once you make your choice, you can then have them custom-made for you. There are wooden planters that you can use. You can find them in a variety of sizes. If you choose wood, it should be chemically treated to prevent pests, such as termites, from damaging the wood. Wood planters can also be stained and are easy to paint on. 

Ceramic planters are also available for your custom planters. You can find these in a wide range of sizes, colors, and styles. Ceramic planters drain well to keep your flowers healthy. You could also bring a ceramic planter inside your home if needed, such as during extremely cold weather. 

If you are on a budget, you should consider metal custom planters. One thing to consider with metal is that there is low ventilation. This means plants can become overheated easier when compared to other types. Flowers that grow in the shade work well as the planter can sit in the shade instead of the hot sun. 

There are many companies that will put the custom design on your planters, or you can do this yourself. Contact a custom planter installation service for assistance.
