4 Steps To Plant Your Gardenstone Planter

Step
#1

Riser

Place planters on small risers or decorative risers to allow for proper drainage. Water must be able to escape the planter.

Step
#2

Aggregate

Fill planters a minimum of 2/3 full, with a clear gravel or aggregate ¾" or larger. This will weight the bottom of the planter to prevent tipping and provide adequate drainage.

Step
#3

Filter Fabric

Filter cloth can be placed on top of the gravel to prevent soil from draining through the bottom drainage hole and /or clogging the aggregate.

Step
#4

Soil

Soil can then be put on top of the filter cloth and gravel, or for better results, have arrangement planted separately in a plastic container and place on top of filter cloth and gravel.

Trapped Water in Any Planter, Once Frozen, Will Expand and May Cause Damage

Winter Care

Planter Winter Care

Your planter should have risers beneath them to ensure drainage hole does not freeze against the ground surface, as well as to remain above the frost line to prevent damage to the bottom of the planter. Planters should also be 2/3 full of ¾ or larger stone (used for drainage) to avoid a large amount of moist soil from freezing and expanding. Ensure planters are kept clear from harsh salts and chemicals, as these may damage the stains and/or concrete.

Fountain & Birdbath Winter Care

Fountains and Birdbaths must be fully drained and free of water before freezing weather occurs. It is essential that any pumps be brought in for the winter or completely dried within the fountain. If the pump is going to be left within the fountain, after removing all moisture, a fountain cover must be used. Fountain covers can be used for fountains and birdbaths – these covers are made with a specialty material that is one-way breathable – allows moisture to escape but no moisture to enter the fountain/birdbath. *Fountain Covers available upon request.

Bench Winter Care

Benches should have small risers beneath them to ensure the legs remain above the frost line to prevent damage to the bottom of the legs - it is important that bench not be placed directly on soil for this same reason. We recommend that benches be covered for the winter season for the utmost protection.

Cleaning

To restore the luster of GardenStone's Bronze and Black Stains – White vinegar can be used to wipe clean Planters, Fountains, Birdbaths and Benches with a soft cloth.
