Dockyard Series
Rugged. Simple. Built to work.
Every piece is cut, assembled, sanded, finished, and inspected by human hands — not machines, not overseas factories, and no shortcuts — right here in our Virginia workshop.
The Dockyard Series is our most utilitarian planter built from pressure treated lumber for durability, strength, and long-term outdoor use. No frills, no trim, no unnecessary details. Just a solid, hardworking box built to handle real gardens and real weather.
This is the series for gardeners who care more about performance than polish.
Built strong. Built simple. Built to last.
Every box is cut, assembled, and finished by hand in our Virginia workshop.
For convenience, we offer 3 standard sizes for our Dockyard Series:
Reserve: 16" × 36"
Signature: 20" × 48"
Estate: 24" × 72"

Designed for Direct-Ground Planting
Dockyard planters feature an open-bottom design that allows excess water to drain naturally into the soil below while giving plant roots access to the ground. Built from pressure-treated lumber rated for exterior use, the Dockyard Series offers increased resistance to moisture, decay, and rot for long-term outdoor use. Modern residential pressure treated lumber is suitable for use around gardens, including raised beds used for growing vegetables, herbs, and other edible plants.
