Norco, CA, October 30 - QCP is here for your design, and some of our proudest work includes the custom projects we contribute to on a regular basis. From fully customized designs to modified versions of our Standard Products, there’s a wide range we work with to successfully complete each project. 

To better understand how to specify us and maximize your custom project experience, we’ve outlined everything landscape architects and designers should know about working with QCP. Family owned and operated since 1976, we've dedicated nearly five decades to crafting the most durable and design-forward site furnishings.

“‘For your design’ really speaks to the whole custom part of the business,” says QCP CEO Rick Crook. “We’ve learned so many new capabilities through custom, which has led to innovations we’ve incorporated into our standard product development.”

Norco, CA, October 4 - In an effort to provide more public access to fresh water and reduce the use of plastic bottles, QCP partnered with Linespace’s Max Beach to design the LA Bottle Filler & Drinking Fountain. 

The LA Bottle Filler is an adaptation of the best-selling LA Drinking Fountain, and it’s available in two styles: the standalone bottle filler and the double-armed bottle filler and drinking fountain. With the latter, the bowls are set to an ADA-compliant height on one side and a standard height on the other.

“Our approach to it was to maintain some of the recognizable form lines so it could work as a family of products, but also as a clean, standalone unit,” Beach says. “The idea was to look at how these might be installed and how they might be used.” 

Norco, CA, October 4 - Last year, we introduced you to the Levus Modular Planters. Now, we’re taking things to new heights with the Levus+ Planter Wall. The system comprises 25 units with three different heights and the same edge detail as the Levus planters, allowing you to create any combination you need for your particular space. They’re also made with thin, lightweight glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC). 

“It’s a modular wall unit that breaks down into manageable sizes for two people to lift and carry,” Gilio-Tenan says. “It’s meant for more decking applications, where you want to create a large planter space but don’t have the ability to make a singular planter that large. It’s like a makeshift retaining wall to add planting in elevated areas. It gets waterproofed on the inside, and it can take on any configuration.”

Norco, CA, October 4 - QCP proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation, the Halo Table, designed in collaboration with award winning designer John Cook. The Halo Table represents a significant leap in outdoor dining furniture, combining modern forms with functional excellence.

John Cook, known for his industrial design expertise in exercise equipment, brings a fresh perspective to outdoor seating with the Halo Table. Inspired by the carousel theme, Cook has transformed the traditional table design by repositioning the supporting tubes to the side and enhancing user comfort while eliminating the common issue of knee obstruction when sitting.

“I aimed to create something truly unique that deviates from conventional designs,” Cook says. “By reimagining the repeatable support structure, we’ve ensured an unobstructed experience for users, making it easier and more enjoyable to sit at the table.”

Norco, CA, September 5 - QCP is thrilled to announce that we’re donating to not one, but two important community-based projects: Lafayette Park in Los Angeles and Taco Plaza in Sacramento. We were so impressed by all of the pro bono project submissions this year, but these two stood out for several reasons.

Chestnut’s latest contribution to QCP’s portfolio offers a playful energy through color. The Wilson is a versatile new concrete bench that’s available in two sizes. Our four standard precast concrete colors make up the exterior, and the void in the center is accented by one of 12 different colors available. 

December 29 - As 2023 comes to a close, this period is characterized by significant changes that empower us to deliver more value than ever to landscape architects. We take a moment to reflect on the milestones that have defined the past year as one of the most transformative chapters in our company's history, focusing on additions to our standard product line.
