Est. 1931 · Cape Cod Window Boxes

Flowers at Every Window

A gray-shingled home with white trim and a window box spilling over with color is about as Cape Cod as it gets. Keeping it looking that way takes the right plants, the right growing conditions, and regular care throughout the season.

We design, plant, and maintain custom window boxes and planters for homes and businesses across the Cape — from spring flowers and summer color to fall arrangements and holiday greens.

The Sears Difference

Designed for your Home

A good window box should look like it belongs on the house. We consider the style of the property, the size and location of the box, sun exposure, and the colors already around the home before choosing what goes in it.

From there, we build the planting with a mix of color, texture, height, and trailing growth so the box looks balanced as it fills in. Plant selections are based on the conditions at your property.

A window box is the first thing anyone sees before they reach your door. On a gray-shingled Cape Cod home, that's not decoration — it's how the house says welcome.

What We Do

What We Do

Whether you need a one-time planting or want us to keep the displays looking their best throughout the year, we can handle as much of the work as you need.

Design & Planting

We select plants around the look of the property and the conditions where they'll be growing, then arrange and plant each container for a full, balanced display.

  • Plant selection and design
  • Window boxes, planters, urns, and more

Seasonal Designs

When one season winds down, we can refresh the containers with plants and materials suited to what comes next.

  • Spring planting
  • Summer color
  • Fall displays
  • Holiday greens

Seasonal Care

Containers need attention as they grow. We can return during the season to tidy, deadhead, trim, and refresh plantings as needed.

  • Plant replacements when needed
  • General container care

More Then Window Boxes

The same approach works beyond the windows. We can carry the planting design across containers around the property for a coordinated look.

  • Porch and patio planters
  • Entry Urns
  • Commercial storefront containers

Built for the Coast

Made to Last Through the Season

Window boxes and planters ask a lot from plants. There's less soil to hold moisture, containers can heat up quickly in the sun, and exposed locations can dry out faster when the wind picks up.

The goal is simple: choose plants that look right together, grow well together, and are suited to the spot where they'll spend the season.

Color Year-Round

A Different Look Each Season

They don't have to be a one-season feature. We can change them throughout the year, moving from early spring color into summer plantings, fall textures, and holiday greens as the seasons change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spring planting fills up early, so we recommend booking by late March or April for a May install. Fall and winter arrangements book about a month ahead of the season. Reach out as soon as you're thinking about it and we'll find a slot that works.
We select salt-tolerant, sun-loving annuals and trailing vines suited to your specific windows and exposure — classics like geraniums and petunias, or a custom palette matched to your home's color scheme. Plants are sourced from trusted regional growers and acclimated before they go in the ground.
Both. Some clients just want a one-time install; most opt for season-long care, where we handle watering, deadheading, and feeding on a regular visit so the boxes stay full and healthy without you thinking about it.
Yes — we swap boxes and planters through the year: pumpkins, ornamental cabbage, and mums for fall, and fresh-cut evergreen boughs with berries and a bow for winter. Many clients keep their boxes full from spring straight through the holidays.
Either. We plant existing window boxes and planters, and we also design and install new boxes, urns, and container arrangements for windows, porches, and entryways.
