Commercial planters are commonly used to beautify a space, but there are so many other ways to put them to good use. They can segregate outdoor spaces, be used as bike lane barriers, create a serene rooftop garden that improves the energy efficiency of your building, and they can even help promote your brand or logo.
6 Unique Ways to Use Commercial Planters
Commercial planters can be used in so many different ways to make your landscaping stand out, here are some of our favorite ways to use commercial planters to your advantage.

#2. Make Your Logo, Brand or Team Name Stand Out
Add your logo, company name, or slogan to any of our customizable planters to make your brand stand out. This transforms planters into a promotional item, adding practicality to aesthetics. Picture this: an extra-large planter with your company name at the entrance to your business so that people know exactly who you are and what you stand for. Or, use planters with your logo all throughout your space to promote your brand
#3. Bike Lane Barriers
The importance of adding bike lane barriers cannot be stressed enough. Bike lanes that include some type of physical barrier between cyclists and automobiles are much safer, a fact that has been proven in many different studies. The goal is to figure out what type of barrier works best for a particular city or street.
Large planters can make excellent bike lane barriers because they are beautiful and serve as a physical divider between traffic and cyclists. Now picture your logo or business name on these planters, letting your city know that you funded the added safety feature and care about saving the planet by promoting safe cycling.
While flexible poles or bollards are often used for bike lane barriers, we’ve seen time and time again how easy it is for cars to get around them or even knock them over. A more solid and visible barrier is more effective. Using a variety of different barriers may also prove effective, for instance mixing large planters with bollards in between to prevent cars from squeezing through open spaces.
#4. Canons at a Water Park
Say what?! This use of our Californian Planters just goes to show that there’s no limit on creativity when it comes to how you can utilize commercial planters. This waterpark decided to forgo the plants and instead used a series of black planters as decorative canons for a festive pirate theme.

#5. Make Your Building Eco-friendlier with Rooftop Planters
Make use of your rooftop space by adding commercial planters. Adding plants to your rooftop can help decrease indoor temperatures and reduce the heat island effect that is impacting urban cities everywhere. Plus, it gives people more reason to enjoy the rooftop views and is an affordable way to spruce up a space that might otherwise go unused.
