Our Story
RC Planters began with a simple goal — to create outdoor pieces that blend natural beauty with lasting craftsmanship. What started as a passion for working with local cedar has grown into a commitment to sustainable design and quality construction. Every planter, screen, and panel we build reflects the pride we take in our work and the timeless character of the materials we use.
We believe that outdoor spaces should feel personal – an extension of your home that’s both beautiful and functional. That’s why we approach every project as a collaboration, tailoring each design to suit your vision and the unique character of your space.
Our Craftsmanship
Every cedar planter we build is made with pride, precision, and a commitment to quality that sets us apart. Our goal is simple — to create planters that not only look beautiful but are built to last for years of outdoor enjoyment.
Built with Premium Materials
We use only 1×6 tongue and groove (T&G) cedar decking boards for all our planters — never thin fence boards.
Our cedar boards are locally milled specifically for our planters, ensuring a consistent, high-quality product from start to finish.
Why Our Planters Stand Out
- Durable Construction: Decking-grade cedar is thicker, stronger, and far more stable than standard fence boards.
- Precision Fit: The tongue and groove design locks each board together for a clean, seamless finish.
- Natural Protection: Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects — no chemical treatments needed.
- Crafted to Last: Our planters won’t warp, split, or shrink like thinner materials often do.
Locally Made, Built to Order
Each planter is custom made to order, one at a time, in our local workshop. We take care in every detail — from selecting the right boards to assembling and finishing each piece — so you receive a product that reflects true craftsmanship and lasting value.
Our Values
At RC Planters, craftsmanship isn’t just about how we build – it’s about how we care. We’re dedicated to using locally milled cedar, supporting sustainable forestry practices, and ensuring that every piece we create stands the test of time.
We take pride in honest workmanship, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service. From first sketch to final installation, our goal is to make your experience simple, transparent, and rewarding – so you can enjoy outdoor living that’s built to last.
