Everything else we carry is a smooth surface in a chosen color. The Woodland range is the exception: the texture is molded in, and there is one finish. That makes it a different kind of decision, so it is worth being direct about what you gain and what you give up.
What woodland planters give you
Timber's appearance without timber's failure modes. Wood in a planter splits, warps, rots and needs sealing, and the parts in permanent contact with wet soil fail first. A molded fiberglass surface has none of those problems while reading as a plank from normal viewing distance.
Texture that survives the finish. Because the grain is in the mold rather than applied, it does not wear off an edge or a corner the way a printed or stained surface does.
Weight that suits a terrace. These are fiberglass, so they handle like the rest of the range rather than like a timber planter of the same size.
What you give up
There is one finish. Walnut. The 20 standard colors and the custom match that apply across the rest of the catalog do not apply here — the texture is the point, and a flat color over it would defeat it. If color choice matters more than texture, the rest of the range is the place to look.
It reads as wood, not as architecture. A matte charcoal cube disappears into a modern facade. A walnut plank texture does the opposite: it is warm, domestic and deliberate. That is a taste decision rather than a right answer.
Boxed weights run from 17.6 lb for the smallest Asheville to 99.2 lb for the 72 inch Sedona. Every size's figure is on its product page.
The forms
Asheville is the cube, in four sizes, and the most flexible of the range — it works alone or repeated down a terrace. Aspen is the round. Siena and Sedona are troughs sharing a footprint at two heights, so a low run and a taller run line up in plan.
Drainage and care
Like the rest of the range these are not drilled unless you ask. Jay Scotts add drainage free of charge at order time and a drilled planter is final sale. See the drainage guide.
Care is the same as any fiberglass planter and simpler than timber: no sealing, no staining, no annual treatment. Jay Scotts specify ordinary household cleaning products such as dishwashing soap. A textured surface holds a little more dust in the grain than a smooth one, so it wants a brush rather than a cloth.
