What Tournesol Siteworks does

Tournesol Siteworks is a Union City, California-based manufacturer of commercial-grade pots, planters, tables, benches, bins, bollards, water features, and irrigation systems used in landscape architecture and site infrastructure. Founded in 1979 (firmographic data) and operating with 51-100 employees, the company sells primarily to landscape architects, designers, contractors, and commercial property owners across hospitality, retail, healthcare, and urban development segments. Its product portfolio spans multiple materials (FRP fiberglass, GFRC concrete, thermally modified hardwood, weathering steel, powder-coated aluminum) organized into collections such as Wilshire, Boulevard, Camino, Montara, Paso, Kitsap, and Willard, and includes proprietary self-watering irrigation systems (CWM modular and CWC tapered inserts) using vacuum-sensor technology.

The company expanded into green facade and living wall systems through the June 2023 acquisition of Greenscreen, now operated as a separate division offering trellis walls, fencing, columns, and overhead installations. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales via a dual GTM: enterprise design consultation and quote-driven sales to landscape architects and contractors, supplemented by a self-serve e-commerce storefront at shop.tournesol.com for standard SKUs. Unit pricing ranges from roughly $118 for irrigation components to over $3,400 for premium wood planters with integrated Greenscreen trellis, with lead times of 2-5 weeks and free shipping on qualifying FRP orders. Custom project services for benches and bespoke solutions are offered via a dedicated advisory team, and the company supports the design community with CAD models, CEU courses, and ASLA event participation.

Tournesol has no disclosed parent company, funding rounds, or external investors, and operates only within the United States. Named enterprise customers include BIDMC, L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, JOEY Restaurant Valley Fair, Whole Foods Market Chicago flagship, Stanford Shopping Center, and The Bluffs at Playa Vista (LEED Gold). The firm publishes a 2024 Environmental Impact Report and Health Product Declarations for Greenscreen, indicating a sustainability positioning aligned with LEED, WELL, and ESG-driven procurement in commercial construction.
