Planters
Elevate the appeal of your outdoor space with beautiful, robust concrete planters designed for modern landscapes.
Locally produced in Melbourne and crafted for durability, style, and versatility, Anston’s architectural concrete planters are designed to complement both residential gardens and commercial landscapes. Combining sculptural form with functional performance, our planters bring structure and soft greenery together in perfect harmony, available in various colours and finish options to suit a wide array of environments.
Our collection includes both rectilinear and round concrete planters, offering various options to suit most design styles. Rectilinear planters are useful for defining pathways, framing entrances or creating layered plantscapes. Round planters bring softness and organic forms, ideal for feature planting or grouping different sizes in clusters to enhance visual presence.
The team have been fantastic to work with. I have worked with them for a number of years on projects and they have always been responsive and have provided good input to the design strategy. They don't over-promise and they do their best to work with us.

Concrete Planters: Beautiful, Durable Plant Housing
Architectural concrete planters bring definition and sophistication to any landscape design. Their purpose is multi-faceted, allowing the creation of structured planting areas, softening built environments, introducing greenery into hardscaped spaces and providing vertical screening of spaces in an organic fashion. Furthermore, their sheer scale, weight and sculptural presence make them ideal for heavy vehicle mitigation, where they are commonly used in the threshold between pedestrian and vehicular traffic to discourage drivers from encroaching into pedestrian zones.
Whether you’re designing a high-end residential garden, a boutique hospitality venue, or a large-scale commercial plaza, our architectural planters offer the design flexibility and robust performance needed to deliver a striking visual aesthetic, combined with decades of lasting performance in the outdoor environment. Anston’s range of design-ready planters are ideal for courtyards, balconies, rooftops, streetscapes, public parks, retail forecourts, and many more applications. Our team can also support customers looking for a bespoke planter solution.
Gateway Plaza Leopold is a shopping haven for locals and visitors in the Bellarine Peninsula.
The centre’s major refurbishment in March 2017 included an expanded dining precinct, many new shops and a landscaped town square for increased community useability and interaction.
Along the outer pedestrian walkways surrounding the centre, vibrant greenery is housed in Anston River planters, cleverly positioned to double as physical vehicular barriers.

What types of finish options are available for concrete planters?
Anston's standard, most popular finish for all our concrete products is a shot-blasted finish, which highlights the beautiful, sensuous texture of concrete.
Customers can select from a light, medium or heavy level of shot-blasting. Light blasting results in a smoother texture and heavy blasting results in a rougher, grittier textured finish.
For products made using our EcoPebble, Ironstone or Mineral Range colours, a heavier level of blasting will reveal more of the stone aggregate in the mix.
Certain products in our range of concrete planters can be produced in a smooth, off-mould/off-form finish. This finish is achieved when products are stripped out of the moulds with no further treatments applied to the surface. This creates a very industrial visual style and is most suited to large-format, flat edged products as opposed to curved products, due to the presence of visible seam lines from the moulds.
Rectilinear-shaped planters can be further enhanced with a honed finish, where the surface of a shot-blasted product is ground to remove the roughness of the shot-blasted texture. This achieves a silky smooth finish that is pleasing to the touch.
Honed products can be treated a step further to achieve a polished finish, which uses finer grits to grind the surface, making it even smoother with a shiny, glossy appearance.
Anston's standard product pricing includes a shot-blasted finish. Additional fees apply for honing and polishing of products.
Do Anston planters come with drainage holes?
Yes, Anston's range of design-ready catalogue planters each include drainage holes at the base of the planters as standard. Unfortunately, the positioning of these drainage holes cannot be changed.
For more detailed information or product drawings pertaining to a specific planter from our range, please contact the Anston team by submitting the form at the bottom of this page.
Do Anston planters come with any extra accessories?
Yes, Anston concrete planters are supplied with small concrete 'feet' that are designed to raise the base of the planter off the ground, allowing for adequate drainage of water out of the planters.

How do I install Anston planters?
Anston's concrete planters are significant in weight, and are not suitable for transport by hand. When lifting, transporting or handling these products, customers must always use the appropriate lifting equipment that is adequately load-rated to bear the product weight.
Typically, installation of our concrete planter products products is completed via careful lifting and positioning of each unit into place, using a crane and slings or a forklift.
The specific methodology is generally determined by the installer on a case-by-case basis.
