Can we get a quote for a complete set including planter boxes, benches, and trashcans for a downtown block?

Of course, you can get a quote—and honestly, that’s exactly the kind of project we love to sink our teeth into. When you’re outfitting an entire downtown block, you’re not just buying furniture; you’re shaping the personality of a public space. Let me walk you through what that process looks like from my side, because the answer isn’t just a number on a page.

First, we’ll need to talk about your block’s specific vibe. Are we going for sleek, modern metal planters that scream “revitalized urban core,” or warm, wood-toned benches that whisper “come sit a while”? The planter boxes alone can range from durable powder-coated steel (great for high-traffic areas) to concrete or fiberglass, which makes a statement but needs a solid foundation. For a typical downtown block of, say, 6 to 10 planter boxes, paired with 4 to 6 benches situated at intersections or outside storefronts, and 3 to 4 heavy-duty trashcans (the kind with a hidden liner that doesn’t tip over in a gust of wind), we’re looking at a ballpark estimate of $8,000 to $15,000 for mid-range commercial grade. If you want custom colors, integrated lighting, or branded elements (like the city logo on the trashcans or a special finish on the benches), that figure can climb—but you get a truly unique streetscape.

But here’s the thing: a quote is just the starting point. The real value comes from the conversation. I’d ask you about maintenance cycles (how often do you want to water those planters?), about public usage patterns (are these benches going to be used by lunchtime office workers or by late-night crowds?), and about your budget—because I can show you a tiered quote. Option A might be a durable, off-the-shelf line that gets the job done beautifully for about $10,000. Option B could be a design-build collaboration where we custom-make everything to fit your block’s exact dimensions and aesthetic, starting closer to $18,000 but including installation and a 10-year warranty. Some clients even ask for a “turnkey” quote that includes soil, seedlings, and a seasonal care schedule for the planters—that’s a different animal entirely.

So yes, the short answer is: absolutely, I can give you a quote. But the better answer is: let’s have a 30-minute call where I see photos of your block, hear your vision, and then I’ll send you a tailored proposal that makes your downtown block feel like a destination, not just a stretch of sidewalk. Trust me, when the planters are blooming, the benches are full, and the trashcans are hidden in plain sight, you’ll wonder why every block doesn’t have a set like this. Ready to get started? I’ll have that quote ready by tomorrow.
