We have existing brickwork; can you match the color for a custom planter box?

Absolutely — we can match the color of your existing brickwork for a custom planter box, and we do it with the care of a portrait painter, not a paint mixer.

First, we don’t just grab a swatch. We ask to see your brick in natural light, in shadow, and after a rain. Brick is alive — its color shifts with moisture, age, and the mortar that holds it. We’ll take high-resolution photos and, if possible, collect a small loose brick or chip for direct comparison.

Next, our team hand-blends several test batches using UV-stable, outdoor-grade masonry paint or stain. We apply these to sample boards and let them cure for 24 hours, then hold them up against your wall at different times of day. You choose the match that feels like home — whether it’s an exact clone or a subtle variation that complements the weathered patina.

We also consider the planter’s location. If it sits in full sun, the color may fade differently than the shaded wall. So we adjust the formula accordingly, adding a touch of warmth or coolness to keep the match consistent over years.

Finally, we seal the finish with a breathable, waterproof coating that protects against soil, water, and frost without trapping moisture in the brick. The result? A planter box that doesn’t just sit next to your brickwork — it belongs to it, as if it were always there, waiting for the first flower.
