We are proud to showcase the work of many talented landscape architects, skilled contractors and savvy homeowners who have incorporated Iron Age decorative castings into their hardscape designs. Get inspired, then contact us about your next project.
The generously spaced, angular lines of these stylish custom grates not only provide ample drainage but also facilitate a nightly light show, allowing colorful LEDs 🔵🟢🔴 to shine up through the grates and illuminate the water wall above.
Cast in silicon bronze, these grates will never rust, making them ideal for this recirculating water feature.

We love to re-visit project locations, documenting the aging of our castings over time. On our last trip to #SpokaneWA, we again found ourselves in The Nest plaza gathering space, designed by MT-LA for the @Kendall_Yards neighborhood, and featuring our #castiron Arizona tree grates. As you can see from these “before” and “after” images, our grates look even better now than when they were first installed 10 years ago!

There’s something mesmerizing about our Bullseye pattern on this cast iron #manhole cover—a perfect blend of function and artistry. With time and the elements, the cover has begun to oxidize, creating a rich, textured patina of warm rust tones. 🧡
Weathering only adds to its character, highlighting the resilience and craftsmanship of these everyday urban details.

We have been proud to partner with @FieldOperations on several phases of Brooklyn’s acclaimed Domino campus, the most recent of which is their design for #DominoSquare. The modern simplicity of our Que tree grates, juxtaposed with the timeless appeal of their raw cast iron construction, makes them an ideal choice for the site’s #RefinedIndusrial aesthetic.

Decorative bollards go beyond function to enhance the built environment. @Land_Expressions chose our Spak #bollards for their beautiful renovation of Huntington Park on the #Spokane River, then took it up a notch by powder coating one of the inner loops red ⭕ to match other project design components. #DesignInspiration #StreetArt

We love the lush look of this outdoor garden and courtyard, designed by @UrbanRobotAssociates for al fresco dining at Parisian-style brasserie @Pastis_Miami. The sculpted, flowing lines of our #castiron Kelp tree grates add to the space’s organic energy while providing ADA-compliant tree protection.
By adding 🌴 trees and 🌿 greenery, landscape designers not only create a unique atmosphere that enhances the restaurant's brand and ambiance but also show a commitment to sustainability and the well-being of their guests.

⏳ #AgingGracefully ⏳ #CastIron grates with surface dimension become even more beautiful over time—especially when installed in areas with significant foot traffic. The high points of the pattern become “burnished”, providing a pleasing contrast to the more recessed areas of the grate.
