Frequently asked questions

Before you order.

Answers about sizes, pricing, delivery, and what’s included.

Ordering, sizing, and delivery.

What types of cedar can I choose from?

For Northeast Ohio projects, the most practical cedar choices we can discuss are Western Red Cedar, Eastern Red Cedar, Northern White Cedar, Alaska Yellow Cedar, and Incense Cedar. Western Red Cedar is usually the easiest premium choice to source consistently. The other species may depend on board size, grade, supplier stock, and whether the project requires boards, pickets, or dimensional lumber. If a specific species matters to you, select it during the quote process and we’ll confirm current availability before the build.

Are the listed prices final?

No. The website prices are starting points for standard styles. Final pricing depends on dimensions, cedar and hardware needs, custom details, quantity, finish, and delivery location.

Can I request a custom size?

Yes. Include the preferred length, width, height, quantity, and intended use in the quote form. A photo or sketch can also help with unusual spaces.

Do you deliver?

Local delivery is available throughout Greater Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Lorain County, and surrounding communities. Delivery cost and availability are confirmed with the project quote.

Do planters include soil and plants?

Unless specifically included in your quote, standard pricing covers the planter itself. Soil, plants, and installation can be discussed as custom options.

What can I grow in a cedar planter?

Depending on planter size and depth, customers commonly use planters for seasonal flowers, herbs, vegetables, decorative greenery, and mixed arrangements. Choose dimensions based on the plants you intend to grow.

Can you build a matching pair for my front porch?

Yes. Matching planters can be quoted for doors, steps, porch columns, patios, and other symmetrical locations. Send the approximate dimensions of the available space.

Do you build mailbox planters?

Yes, custom decorative mailbox-planter concepts can include cedar panels, planter space, address details, trim, and lighting options. If the project is an active curbside mailbox, applicable postal, roadway, HOA, and local placement requirements should be considered.

How do I get the most accurate quote?

Provide the planter type, approximate dimensions, quantity, intended use, preferred cedar species, custom details, and delivery city or ZIP code. Mention any photos, inspiration images, or sketches you have available.

How do I place an order?

Start by requesting a quote online, calling (216) 390‑8146, or emailing sales@eazysplanterbox.com. Project details and pricing are confirmed before the build moves forward.

Western Red Cedar

Balanced honey-brown color, straighter grain, and a refined architectural look for premium finished planters.

Representative material guide: the image uses one planter design to help compare typical color direction and character. It is not a photographic sample of five separate cedar builds. Cedar naturally varies in grain, knots, heartwood/sapwood color, grade, and weathering. Final material availability depends on supplier stock, dimensions, and project requirements.

Western Red Cedar

Our strongest all-around premium choice for a polished outdoor-furniture look. Commonly available through major lumber channels.

Eastern Red Cedar

More dramatic red-brown character and natural variation. Best when the customer wants the wood itself to stand out.

Northern White Cedar

Paler and quieter than red cedar species, with good outdoor suitability. Availability and board sizes can vary.

Alaska Yellow Cedar

Fine, golden, distinctive material for premium special-order projects where the appearance justifies the sourcing cost.

Incense Cedar

A less-common reddish-brown cedar option that may be available by special order depending on supplier stock.
