Traditional Lead Garden Planters
Architectural Presence. Enduring Character.Bespoke Lead Planters
Our bespoke lead planters bring together traditional leadwork and the precision of architectural joinery, creating substantial garden planters with the distinctive character of hand-formed lead.
Each planter begins with an Accoya™ timber structure, individually prepared in our Cotswolds workshop and clad by hand in Code 4 lead. This approach provides the strength and stability required for substantial planting while allowing greater freedom in proportions, form and architectural detailing.
Traditional Leadwork, Architectural Strength
Lead has long been associated with formal gardens, historic properties and classical architecture. Its naturally developing patina gives each planter a distinctive appearance that becomes more established with age.
Beneath the hand-formed lead, the concealed Accoya™ structure provides the structural integrity necessary for long-term exterior use, allowing the planter to accommodate substantial planting without relying on the lead for support.
Individual Commissions
We work with private clients, garden designers, landscape architects and property professionals to create lead planters suited to their surroundings.
From a single statement planter to a coordinated collection for an entrance, terrace or formal garden, dimensions and detailing are considered in relation to the architecture, intended planting and overall setting.

Bespoke Lead Planters
Traditional Leadwork with Architectural Joinery
Our bespoke lead planters combine traditional leadwork with the precision and stability of architectural joinery.
Each planter is made individually to order, with hand-formed Code 4 lead surrounding a durable Accoya™ inner structure. This allows us to create substantial lead planters in proportions and designs that would be difficult to achieve in lead alone.
Made to Order
The natural character and subtle variation of the lead gives each planter its own presence, while the concealed timber structure provides strength and stability for long-term exterior use.
Dimensions and detailing are considered specifically for the planting and setting, from private gardens and terraces to courtyards and larger landscapes.
We welcome commissions from private clients, garden designers, landscape architects and architects.
