Custom Raised Planters & Garden Beds in Perth & Piara Waters
Add Height, Structure, and Vibrant Plant Life to Your Outdoor Space
Tired of flat, lifeless yards or struggling with poor garden soil? At Nulook Landscaping, we design and build custom raised planters that bring depth, elegant lines, and healthy greenery to your outdoor area. Whether framing a patio, creating built-in seating borders, or establishing clean vegetable beds, our raised planters are structurally built to enhance your home’s architecture while making gardening effortless.
What Are Raised Planters?
Raised planters (or raised garden beds) are elevated structures built above ground level, enclosed by solid retaining walls made of brick, blockwork, stone, timber, or concrete. Instead of planting directly into standard ground soil, raised planters are filled with specialized, nutrient-rich soil mixes and organic compost.
By lifting garden beds 30cm to 100cm off the ground, raised planters isolate your plants from poor native sands, prevent invasive root intrusion, and create clean, modern architectural zones throughout your landscaping.
Key Benefits of Adding Raised Planters to Your Yard
- Superior Soil Quality: Bypass Perth’s dry, nutrient-poor sand by filling planter boxes with premium soil blends tailored to your exact plants.
- Easier Maintenance & Access: Reduced bending and kneeling makes planting, weeding, and pruning far more comfortable on your back and knees.
- Cleaner Drainage & Root Control: Controlled soil depth prevents waterlogging and stops tree roots or invasive lawn runners from invading your garden beds.
- Architectural Depth & Privacy: Vertical height adds visual interest to flat yards and can be used to grow screen hedging along boundary fences for added privacy.

Our Structural Construction Process
A lasting planter box requires solid footings and proper internal waterproofing to prevent cracking and soil staining over time.
- Concrete Footing Pour: We dig and pour solid concrete trench footings to give the planter walls a unyielding foundation.
- Masonry Construction: Brickwork or blocks are laid with precision reinforced ties to comfortably support heavy soil weight.
- Internal Waterproofing & Drainage Layer: Internal walls are coated with waterproofing membrane and lined with aggregate and drainage cell to allow excess water to escape cleanly.
- Soil Filling & Planting: We fill the beds with high-grade organic soil mix, plant your chosen vegetation, and finish with decorative mulch or pebbles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Raised Planters

A depth of 30cm to 45cm works great for general plants and small shrubs, while 60cm or deeper is ideal for privacy screen hedging and root vegetables.
