Top 4 Extra Large Outdoor Planters for Landscape Architects

How does planter size transform an outdoor space? For landscape architects, scale defines impact. Extra large outdoor planters don’t just complement architecture - they create it. They anchor sightlines, guide movement, and balance structures within large-scale environments.

At Jackson Pottery Pro, we serve the trade by offering premium, extra large planters designed specifically for landscape architects. Every collection is crafted with proportion, form, and durability in mind, giving professionals the tools to design at scale without compromise.

"When you’re choosing planters for a property, you’re really asking: does this piece speak to the space? What story does it tell about the design - and about you as the creator?” - Forrest Jackson, CEO of Jackson Pottery Pro

Craftsmanship and Durability: Built to Endure

Each Jackson Pottery Pro planter is the product of master craftsmanship and tested durability. Many of our ceramic pieces are handmade in southern Vietnam, where artisans blend traditional techniques with modern kiln-firing precision to create pieces that stand up to both time and the elements.

The process ensures consistent color, glaze quality, and structural integrity across large-scale production. Each planter is fired at controlled temperatures to achieve strength and frost resistance suitable for diverse climates - from coastal regions to mountain estates.

Forrest Jackson: “Creating large pieces that can stand up to the elements takes experience and care - our partners have mastered both.”

Whether ceramic, fiberglass, or cast stone, every planter in the JKP lineup reflects the same commitment to performance, style, and craftsmanship that has defined our brand for over 40 years.

Performance and Installation Considerations

Large-scale planters demand more than design vision - they require planning for placement, drainage, and weight.

Jackson Pottery Pro offers material options that provide flexibility for every project:

• Cast stone: Ideal for plazas or public spaces requiring permanence.
  
  
• Fiberglass: Lightweight and easy to maneuver for rooftops and terraces.
  
  
• Ceramic and terracotta: Kiln-fired for color depth and durability in outdoor settings.
  
  
• Metal: Strong and modern, perfect for high-traffic or contemporary applications.

Installation tips:

• Use pot feet or risers for drainage and airflow.
  
  
• Avoid water pooling inside planters to prevent freeze damage.
  
  
• Plan for equipment access when installing oversized pieces.

The result? A stunning, low-maintenance installation that delivers beauty and performance season after season.
