Inside Plinthora
A place for
the small details.
We build cedar boxes in small batches, after the measurements are settled. A good fit leaves room for the window, the wall and the water to do what they should.
Measure, make, fill.
-
Tell us about the spot.
Measure the outside width you have in mind, the depth available and the clearance below the sill. For a wall-mounted box, describe the siding and what is behind it. These are starting measurements, not permission to drill.
-
Agree on the build.
We confirm outside dimensions, finish, bracket needs and pickup or installation. You see a simple drawing and a written total before the cedar is cut. Most boxes take two to three weeks after approval; seasonal dates are confirmed separately.
-
Bring it into the season.
Choose an empty box or a refill. We ask about sun, wind and how often you can water, then suggest a planting. Cut winter greens are a separate December option.
Cedar still moves.
Wood changes with the weather and unfinished cedar turns gray over time. Keep drain holes open, clean out old roots between plantings and check brackets before each refill. We show you how to remove the liner.
Visit by arrangement.
Workshop pickup in Maple Crossing runs Tuesday–Saturday, 9am–4pm, by appointment. We agree on a time so your box is ready when you arrive.
If a joint or another part of our workmanship needs attention, tell us so we can look at it and discuss a repair.
Made for the spot you have.
A window, a step, a sheltered corner. Start there.
