No Yard? No Problem. Create Your Own Green Space with Balcony Planters

Not every Dallas home comes with a backyard—but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy lush, green outdoor living. At Designer Exteriors, we specialize in custom balcony planter installations that bring life, privacy, and elegance to small-space living.

Whether you’re in a luxury townhome, a modern condo, or a high-rise with a view, your balcony can become a serene garden escape.

Why Balcony Planters Make a Big Impact

Strategically designed balcony planters are more than just decoration—they create purpose, privacy, and visual harmony. Our custom installs offer:

Natural Screening from Neighbors

Tall plantings like bamboo, boxwood, or grasses shield your space without needing walls or shades.

Container Gardening in Style

Grow herbs, florals, or evergreens in planters designed to match your architecture—sleek black metals, neutral composites, or modern concrete finishes.

Defined Space for Relaxation

Even in small balconies, planters can frame a cozy lounge zone or café table area, making it feel more like a true outdoor room.

Low-Maintenance Options Available

We design with irrigation and drainage in mind—and can use drought-tolerant or artificial greenery for a no-fuss lifestyle.

Balcony Landscape Materials We Love

Our favorite combinations for balcony and rooftop gardens include

• Powder-coated steel or composite planters for modern, durable structure

• Bamboo, horsetail reed, or clumping grasses for vertical privacy and movement

• Evergreens like boxwood or rosemary for year-round greenery and structure

• Ornamental herbs or succulents for detail, aroma, and ease of care

• Edible herbs and compact vegetables like basil, mint, cherry tomatoes, or peppers—perfect for a chef’s garden steps from your kitchen

• Gravel or mulch top layers to finish the look and prevent weeds

From Blank to Beautiful—In One Installation

This featured Dallas townhome had a bare balcony space with beautiful architecture—but lacked warmth or privacy. In one day, we transformed it with:

• Custom-length black modern planter beds

• Vertical green coverage using bamboo

• Fresh soil + irrigation prep

• Balanced, elevated design without clutter

Now, it’s a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors—without ever needing a backyard.
