Sphere Planter

These spherical Garden Gabion wire mesh baskets are constructed from 6-gauge, hot dipped galvanized steel with wire mesh openings starting at 2" by 2" and gradually getting smaller as they reach the top and bottom of the sphere. The baskets are easily assembled by selecting your preferred aggregate and potted plant and carefully placing the aggregate around the pot. Once filled, the baskets can be fastened with your choice of tie wire or hog rings.

Sphere planters bring a modern, sculptural elegance to any landscape or architectural setting, creating striking visual statements in ordinary spaces. These round planters combine clean geometric design with practical functionality, offering a low-maintenance solution for both indoor and outdoor applications. BlueStone Supply provides quality sphere planters that deliver lasting performance and contemporary aesthetics for residential, commercial, and public space projects.

Applications & Use Cases

Residential Applications

• Home gardens, patios, and courtyards where modern landscape planters create visual interest and define outdoor living spaces.
• Decorative focal points that anchor landscape beds, flank entryways, or accent architectural features.
• Modern landscape installations incorporating contemporary hardscape and softscape elements with coordinated materials.
• Pool and water feature surrounds where weather-resistant construction withstands moisture and chlorine exposure.

Commercial Applications

• Office parks, hotels, and retail centers requiring durable outdoor planters that withstand heavy foot traffic and seasonal weather variations.
• Urban plazas and streetscapes where garden sphere planters provide greenery in high-visibility public areas while managing foot traffic flow.
• Public spaces and art installations using decorative planters as sculptural elements that blend function with design intent.
• Rooftop gardens and elevated decks where lightweight options reduce structural load concerns.

Specialty Applications

• Indoor and outdoor flexibility for atriums, lobbies, rooftop terraces, and climate-controlled environments.
• Xeriscaping and drought-tolerant landscapes where water-wise plantings benefit from well-designed containers with proper drainage layers.

Installation & Care

Site Preparation

• Assess load-bearing capacity for elevated installations, rooftops, or deck applications where weight distribution matters.
• Plan for drainage by selecting locations that allow excess water to exit without damaging surrounding hardscape or building foundations.
• Consider sun exposure when positioning planters, as intense afternoon sun may stress certain plant species even in well-designed containers.

Planting Guidelines

• Select appropriate soil mix based on plant requirements, using commercial potting mixes rather than garden soil for better drainage and aeration.
• Add drainage layers using gravel or landscape fabric to prevent soil from blocking drainage holes and maintain water flow.
• Leave adequate space between soil surface and planter rim to prevent overflow during heavy rain or irrigation.

Maintenance

• Clean periodically using mild soap and water to maintain appearance and remove mineral deposits, algae, or debris buildup.
• Inspect drainage holes seasonally to verify they remain clear and functional.
• Refresh soil annually for perennial plantings or between seasonal rotations to maintain nutrient levels and soil structure.
• Monitor for settling as soil compacts over time, adding additional mix as needed to maintain proper root depth.
