Planter Box Remediation across Marrickville buildings
Concrete cancer rectification on the post-2000 industrial conversions, planter-box programs on the podium-deck stock, leaking-window rectification across the warehouse-style apartments where original glazing details have aged out.

Understanding Planter Box Failures
Planter boxes operate as integrated systems. Typical components include waterproofing membranes, drainage systems, root barriers, protection layers, soil media and structural substrates.
Failure of any component can compromise the entire system.
