Modern and Manhattan

Forget the bulky concrete troughs of the past. Our Manhattan and Modern outdoor planters redefine urban greenery with sharp geometric designs that cut through design uncertainty. These contemporary outdoor planters aren’t just containers for plants; they act as spatial accents in your environment. With their sleek, razor-edge profiles, our modern planters can double as privacy screens. This is where sophisticated minimalist aesthetics meet advanced material science. Our large modern outdoor planters collection combines functionality with a stylish appearance, making them ideal for urban settings.

Sleek Lines, Hidden Brawn

Let’s talk about what might not be noticeable. Our modern planters have treated finishes that are both visually stunning and tough. The matte black finish on that modern outdoor planter? It’s not just color thrown on top; it’s an armor that can shrug off salt spray as well as other forms of wear and tear. 


Our Manhattan “stone” planters? They’re notably lighter than cast concrete, yet highly impact-resistant and not subject to cracking, warping, or crumbling. Basically, this collection has all the upside of modern design without some of the usual associated costs. 

When Handmade Doesn’t Mean Delicate

Each fiberstone planter from this collection is handmade by our expert artisans at Planters Unlimited. As a result, they come with the highly desired handcrafted charm of slight variations. Our Manhattan and Modern outdoor planters’ extra layer of aesthetic authenticity doesn’t, however, come at the cost of durability. 


Our artisans are unparalleled experts in striking a balance between aesthetics and longevity. The fiber material in our contemporary outdoor planters means that they won’t warp, crack, or crumble like concrete might. This is ideal for businesses with high foot traffic that want to minimize maintenance costs. With our large modern outdoor planters, handcrafted doesn’t translate to fragile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are modern outdoor planters made of?

The Planters Unlimited Modern and Manhattan collections are crafted from commercial-grade materials like fiberglass, fiberstone, GFRC, and Corten steel. This gives them a sleek aesthetic and impressive durability.

A key feature? These pieces are relatively lightweight for easy installation and repositioning. They can also be built in a range of colors, finishes, and sizes to meet your exact specifications.

Can modern outdoor planters be used year-round?

Yes. We build our contemporary outdoor planters to face down the toughest year-round weather extremes. Their high-quality construction resists cracking, fading, warping, and corrosion.

What makes contemporary outdoor planters different from traditional styles?

Clean lines. Sleek silhouettes. Neutral tones. Our contemporary outdoor planters complement modern architecture. And in their construction, these pieces are lightweight yet durable—unlike traditional clay or concrete options.

They’re the perfect pick for a wide range of commercial settings, from healthcare facilities, hotels, and office buildings to restaurants and retail centers.

Planters Unlimited’s large modern outdoor planters are the ideal blend of design and performance. In addition to their durability and aesthetic appeal, they are great for directing foot traffic and creating natural barriers.

How do I choose the right size modern outdoor planters?

There are three main things to consider when selecting pot size:

First, what is the expected mature size of your plant? You’ll need something appropriate for the dimensions your greenery will eventually achieve. Large modern planters are ideal for outdoor trees and privacy hedges, while smaller plants may feel lost in pots that are too big.

Next, what footprint are you working with? Measure the area in which your contemporary outdoor planters will be placed, factoring in room to facilitate maintenance.

Finally, what is your design aesthetic? Consider your overall goal. Large, modern outdoor planters are ideal if you’re aiming to make a bold statement, and they help achieve symmetry in grand spaces. Smaller pieces add greenery without overwhelming a space.

What options are available with your modern outdoor planters?

The Modern and Manhattan collections feature tons of standard and customizable features for versatility. To begin with, if you opt for fiberglass composition, you’ll have 24 color options and 4 finishes to choose from.

Drainage holes can be added, and casters are optional on many of our pieces. False bottoms, accessory pockets, matching saucers, bottom reinforcements—if you need it, we can customize it.

We even offer planters to fit around bare poles to improve aesthetics and wall-mounted planters for vertical landscape design. Planter boxes can also be ordered with trellises for climbing plants and as hedges and dividers featuring lifelike artificial greenery.

Customization is also an option with almost any Planters Unlimited product. Just reach out to discuss your needs.

Do modern outdoor planters require maintenance?

Our planters are designed to require minimal upkeep. The fade-resistant finishes and sturdy materials make them easy to clean. Even with regular exposure to the elements, they are built to last with only routine care.
