Potted Palm Trees with Concrete Planter and Uplights

This contemporary potted palm tree set for SketchUp features two palms in a curved concrete planter with integrated uplights. The ensemble consists of two distinct palm trees planted within a low-profile, curved concrete planter box. The base is filled with white decorative stone aggregate and accented by patches of ornamental grasses surrounding the palm trunks. Two small, adjustable exterior uplights are positioned at either end of the planter to highlight the foliage. The form of the planter is organic and fluid, providing a structured yet natural aesthetic suitable for modern exterior spaces. The foliage density and trunk textures are detailed, offering a realistic appearance for architectural visualization projects.

The download is a 19.7 MB compressed archive containing the native SketchUp (.skp) model holding 2 separate objects. It opens directly in SketchUp; for 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D, import it through a SketchUp importer or convert it first.

To integrate this model into a SketchUp scene, use the import function to bring the file into your project. Ensure the component is placed on a dedicated layer for vegetation to manage viewport performance. You can adjust the scale to suit your specific site requirements, though it is modelled at a standard landscape scale. Apply high-resolution textures to the concrete and stone surfaces for closer renders, and use the existing light components as placeholders for your preferred lighting system to achieve the desired night-time illumination.
