URBAN STREET DESIGNS
Urban Street Designs worked with NAO Landscapes and The Landscape Gardener Southern to produce the Long Modular Planter System with integrated seating and privacy screen .
Having worked with Nick Osman ( NAO Landscapes ) and Paul Bentley ( The Landscape Gardener Southern ) on previous projects , we knew what was required and designed the product so it could be carried in a lift ; restrictions meant that no panel could be longer than 2.8metres long .
The planter was manufactured with a large return top edge to give a solid panel look and had a galvanised drainage layer to protect its decking platform .
Urban Street Designs use CAD in house , including our 6kw Bystronic laser cutter , power rollers and press brakes . We have a powder coating plant on site and our fabricators are coded and weld to British standards .
