Stone planters ~ in styles from elegant to classical to ultra-modern

Stone garden planters today are more often made from modern materials than from natural stone. Limestone mixed with lightweight fiberglass offer the beautiful colors of stone with the advantages of being durable, waterproof and easier to move.

Faux concrete or stone planters are ideal for balconies, decks and entranceways where real stone would be too heavy. Casting techniques allow for the production of very detailed textures and patterns that simulate natural materials and are hard to tell from the real thing until you touch them.

When you are looking for large or over-size planters, be sure to have a look at the selections of landscape planters that are available online and in your local garden shop. You may be pleasantly surprised at the quality of the newer materials used to produce stone look-alike planters.
