ProfessionalWindow Planter Box Mounting

A window box full of color is one of the fastest ways to boost curb appeal — but an improperly hung box is a water-soaked liability waiting to pull the bracket out of the wall. We mount planter boxes level, anchored into solid backing, and able to carry the weight of soil and water.

Set & secure the box

We set the planter box in place, fasten it to prevent tipping, and confirm it's level from front to back and side to side.

Window Planter Box Mounting — FAQ

How much weight can a window box hold?

A cubic foot of moist potting soil weighs roughly 60 to 80 pounds. Brackets rated for the full expected weight of soil and plants are essential — we verify this before drilling.

Do I need a gap between the box and the house wall?

Yes — leaving an inch or two between the back of the box and the siding allows air circulation and prevents constant moisture contact that rots siding over time.

Can you mount a box under a window on a second story?

First-floor window boxes are our standard scope. Second-story boxes are reachable with a tall ladder on many homes — we assess the site before booking.
