Any Rust Issues With The Planters?

3 years ago

Hi there! I absolutely 100% love this house and always refer to it with our landscape designers! The Cor-Ten steel is absolutely beautiful! How did you prevent the rust from staining the surrounding areas?

Also, any chance you know the home’s paint color or whom I could ask if not?

Thank you!!

Hi there - we typically install our steel with small gaps between it and any surface adjacent that could stain. In grass or gravel, we don't have that concern. The house in the photo was done by Ryan Street and Associates in Austin. They might have a record of the color. Hope that helps.

Thanks !
