Empire Series

from $248.00

Refined. Elevated. Built like furniture.

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 Empire Series is where craftsmanship meets design. Built from premium cedar, finished with refined trim and routing details, sealed for durability, and elevated on handcrafted wood legs, these planters are designed to look as good on your patio or deck as they do in your garden.

Every Empire planter features a closed bottom, integrated drainage system, and sealed interior making them ideal for patios, balconies, decks, and hardscapes where direct ground planting isn’t an option.

Interior surfaces are sealed using a plant based, marine grade wood treatment safe for flowers, herbs, and vegetables providing long term moisture protection without trapping water.

Clean lines. Balanced proportions. Thoughtful construction.

Standard Sizes & Heights

For convenience, we offer two standard footprints, allowing you to tailor your planter to both your space and your workflow.

Footprints (Length × Width)

  • Petite (15.25”x15.25”)

  • Accent (19”x19”)

Height

  • 20.5”

Empire Petite — Compact & Paired

Designed for spaces where a smaller footprint makes the difference, the Empire Petite brings the full craftsmanship and character of the Empire Series to entryways, balconies, smaller patios, and paired arrangements.

Its compact proportions make it especially well suited for flanking doorways, lining steps, or adding greenery where a larger planter would overwhelm the space.

Perfect for flowers, herbs, ornamental grasses, and compact plantings.

Overall Footprint: 15.25" × 15.25"
Interior Planting Area: 12.25" × 12.25"
Planting Depth: 14"

Empire Accent — Statement & Standalone

Designed to command a little more attention, the Empire Accent offers a larger planting area and stronger visual presence while retaining the distinctive proportions and craftsmanship of the Empire Series.

Ideal for porches, patios, entryways, and standalone arrangements where the planter itself becomes part of the landscape.

Perfect for shrubs, flowers, ornamental grasses, herbs, and statement plantings.

Overall Footprint: 19" × 19"
Interior Planting Area: 16" × 16"
Planting Depth: 14"

Small in size. Big in presence.
