Olympic Trough Planters

Cast Stone Trough Planters – Olympic Collection by Nichols Bros.

Create clean lines and strong architectural impact with the Olympic Cast Stone Trough Planters. Designed as the perfect companion to the Tall Olympic Planters, these rectangular cast stone planters bring balance, structure, and timeless style to patios, terraces, entryways, and commercial landscapes.

Their elongated shape makes them ideal for defining spaces, lining walkways, creating privacy screens with layered plantings, or showcasing lush arrangements of ornamental grasses, shrubs, and seasonal flowers. The classic, understated design blends effortlessly into both traditional and modern garden settings.

Crafted by Nichols Bros. Stoneworks, these trough planters are made from premium dry cast stone, a material that offers the refined look of natural carved stone with superior durability. Using the Vibrant Tamp Method, zero-slump concrete is densely compacted in rigid molds to produce exceptionally strong, weather-resistant planters built for long-term outdoor use.

Nichols Bros. has refined its cast stone mix and curing methods over more than two decades, resulting in products with excellent strength, abrasion resistance, and freeze-thaw durability. Larger pieces are reinforced with galvanized aircraft cable, while flat surfaces and rings are reinforced with steel for added structural integrity. All mix designs meet Cast Stone Institute standards for architectural cast stone.

Perfect for residential and commercial projects alike, these large cast stone trough planters deliver a sophisticated, permanent landscape solution.

Shipping Information

All Nichols Bros. cast stone planters are made to order and ship via LTL common carrier freight. Due to the custom production process, items are non-returnable.

Because of our improved mix design and integral reinforcing, we offer a 10-year limited warranty on our dry cast stone products, assuming proper installation and maintenance. A very important factor in planter performance is drainage. Our planters are made with drain holes and they must be utilized. With every order we ship installation instructions and small rubber squares to act as spacers or pot feet. These are to lift the bottom of the planter 1/4” – 3/8” off the ground to allow proper drainage. If water is allowed to collect in the container it can lead to efflorescence and in extreme cases of ice buildup, can cause the planter to crack. The warranty is limited to manufacturer’s defects and does not cover damage from improper maintenance or installation, mishandling, collision or other misuse.

We do not guarantee our containers from failure due to other actions which might befall the products, such as being struck, dropped or otherwise abused.

Nichols Bros. Stoneworks reserves the right to request the return, for inspection and analysis, to the Snohomish, WA location, any product for which failure is claimed, with the return packing and shipping costs incurred being borne at least initially by the claimant.

Whether or not the product is returned, any claim must be made in writing and include a full description of the location of the container, when it was most recently moved to the location where failure was first noted, its contents immediately prior to its failure upon its environment and possible cause of its failure.

Upon their review of the written claim and/or the product itself, and based upon their experience and results of any outside scientific analysis they choose to employ, if, in the sole judgment of Nichols Bros. Stoneworks the container is determined to have failed, Nichols Bros. will ship to the claimant a new, replacement container of the same size and design, at Nichols Bros. Cost, and at the same time refund the costs incurred by the claimant to have had the failed product packed and shipped to Nichols Bros.

If, on the other hand, in Nichols Bros.’ sole judgment the product failure is determined to have been caused by something other than manufacturer’s defect, Nichols Bros. will not be required to replace the container or to reimburse for the packing and shipping of the container for their inspection. Further, Nichols Bros. may, at its option, charge back any out-of-pocket costs incurred by them in determination of the cause of the failure; those costs do not exceed the initial price paid by the claimant for that container.
