Moving heavy, soil-filled planter boxes in urban settings requires careful planning and proper technique to avoid injury and damage. First, assess the weight – a large planter can easily weigh hundreds of pounds. The safest approach is to use equipment. Invest in a heavy-duty plant dolly with locking casters, placing it underneath the planter for easy rolling. For slightly lighter boxes, leverage tools like a furniture slider. If you must lift, never bend at the waist. Squat down, keep your back straight, and lift with your legs, ideally with a partner. For extremely heavy planters, consider partially emptying the soil first. Always clear your path and wear sturdy gloves and closed-toe shoes for protection. Planning your move and using the right tools ensures your urban garden remains beautiful and your back stays safe.
