Serene Yards is a Jay Scotts authorized online dealer. This is the full range we carry, in every size and finish the manufacturer produces. Everything here is the manufacturer's own product, made to order rather than picked from a warehouse of mixed stock.
What buying from an authorized online dealer actually gets you
The phrase does less work than it should, so here is what it means in practice.
The product is the manufacturer's. Fiberglass planters are widely copied, and a copy of a Jay Scotts shape is not a Jay Scotts planter: different laminate schedule, different finish process, different wall thickness. Buying from a dealer means the model codes, the dimensions and the finish names are the manufacturer's own.
The warranty is real and it is theirs. Jay Scotts covers these with a three year manufacturer warranty. A warranty is only worth what the manufacturer will honor, which requires the unit to have come through their own channel.
Made to order, in one batch. Because these are produced per order rather than pulled from stock, a set ordered together is made in a single finish batch. That matters on any installation using more than two or three units, where planters assembled from stock of different ages can differ visibly in the same run.
How the range fits together
This is the part no individual product page can tell you, because it is a fact about the catalog rather than about any one planter.
Corner units share a base code with their rectangular siblings. A corner planter and the rectangle it belongs with carry the same base number, the same height and the same wall profile, differing only in footprint. If you are wrapping a terrace edge and need the run to turn a corner without a visual break, that pairing is what you are looking for, and it is not obvious from either product page alone. Several models are corner units on a shared base.
Models come in size runs, not single sizes. Most rectangular models run 36, 48, 60 and 72 inches; round models run through several diameters. Specifying a scheme usually means picking a model and then choosing lengths, rather than picking planters individually.
Shape families behave predictably. Rectangles and troughs line up into runs. Tapered and round forms work as single statements and do not. Cubes and corner units close the ends of a run.
The specifications we publish and most sellers do not
For every size we list three numbers that decide whether a planter works, and which are usually absent from planter listings:
Interior dimensions. The usable opening through the rim, which is always smaller than the exterior and by more than people expect on a large piece. This is the number that decides whether a root ball goes in.
Grow pot capacity. Which standard nursery pot each size accepts, and how many on a longer trough. This is the practical figure for anyone dropping in pre-grown stock.
Packaged weight. The shipping weight including packaging, per size, which is what delivery planning and lift access actually need. It is not the product weight and not the planted weight, and confusing those is how installations go wrong.
Each size also states its own shipping mode, because the ground-versus-freight boundary falls between sizes of the same model rather than between models.
What we do not do
We are not the manufacturer. We do not control production schedules, we cannot alter a mold, and lead times are theirs rather than ours. What we can do is tell you accurately what exists and what it measures.
We do not offer custom shapes or bespoke colors. The range is the range. Custom fabrication is a conversation with the manufacturer, not with us.
We do not hold stock, and there is no showroom. Made to order means allow three to five business days of production before anything ships, or five to seven for gloss finishes, and it means you are buying from specifications and renders rather than from a display floor. That is the trade for getting a set produced in one batch, and it is why we publish dimensions in the detail we do.
We do not carry every Jay Scotts product. We carry the outdoor and indoor-outdoor planter range. Discontinued models are not listed, and where a size has been discontinued it is not sellable here.
Material, finish and delivery
Every planter is fiberglass composite, finished to order in one of twenty colors across matte, satin, gloss and metallic, with an automotive-grade, UV-resistant paint system. the material is non-porous and the finish is UV-resistant. Kept well drained, the material does not absorb water and so does not crack in freeze-thaw the way porous planters do.
Standard sizes ship free by ground within the contiguous United States. Larger units ship by freight at a flat 395 dollars, free on orders over 2,000 dollars. Returns run 14 days from delivery, refunded as Serene Yards store credit. Both carry a 30 percent restocking fee, and original shipping charges are non-refundable. For freight, inspect before signing, note any damage on the delivery receipt, and report it in writing within 24 hours.
Drainage is drilled free of charge on request and is not drilled by default. Drilled planters are final sale.
