Our Products
Big Bend Stone Planters specializes in stone planters, garden accents, and water feature. Each piece is hand-shaped by artisans whose work supports local craftsman families across the region—the keepers of this technique.
We don’t rush things out here. Every piece we offer is pulled from the land, shaped by hand, and meant to last longer than a Texas drought.
Ain’t no two alike. And that’s exactly the point.
Stone Planters… or Tinajas
Big or small, no two are the same.
Each Tinaja is carved by hand from “Tuff”— a volcanic ash stone pulled from outcroppings in northern Chihuahua. No molds, no machines, just skilled hands and quiet patience.
Herb Planter
Our smallest size. Made for culinary herbs, wildflowers, or tiny native starts. Just enough space to grow something simple and good.
Succulent Planters
Shallow and sculptural. Built for succulents, low-water beauties, or those plants that like a little room to sprawl without getting lost.
Small Planter
Compact but full of character. Great for small houseplants, starter arrangements, or lining a path with something low-maintenance.
Medium Planter
A go-to size for flexibility. Works well indoors or out, solo or in a grouping. Great for flowering perennials or seasonal color.
Medium Large
Shallow, wide, and made for visual impact. Great for spreading sedum, ornamental grasses, or stacking with other pieces.
Large Planter
Bold, grounded, and ready to be noticed. Great for larger plantings: agave, shrubs, succulents, or grouped statement pieces.
Sizing Support
We group our Tinaja planters based on size. Because each piece is formed geologically, therefore, naturally irregular. Dimensions can vary. Just ask us. Sizes range from Herb to Extra Large. Anything bigger is sold by the pound—those are the showstoppers. These are true statement pieces, built for bold spaces.
Oversized planters start at 200 pounds and only get larger. When a piece is too big for standard sizing, it gets priced by the pound. These are perfect for landscape designs that call for something no one else has.
No two tinajas are exactly alike. And, that’s the part that makes them special.
Water Features
The kind of pieces that don’t ask for attention—they earn it.
Sculptural, grounded, and right at home in any landscape worth standing in. Born in the desert. Built to stay.

Oasis
Nothing fancy—just nature, doing what it does best. This piece recreates the moment a spring bursts through rock, catching light and sound on the way down. Each boulder is wild and wonderfully imperfect.

Old English Trough
Big, bold, and beautifully unruly. This is the supersized version of our Oasis feature—designed for real impact. Twin water spouts spill over its natural stone face, filling your space with motion and sound. It’s a conversation starter that never stops.

Hill Country Waterfall
If water is poetry, this is the chorus. Our Hill Country Waterfall drops three to four times, from stone to stone, in a rhythm that soothes and stirs. These aren’t just boulders stacked high—we carve each basin to catch, pause, and pour, giving your yard a living sculpture.
Footprint: 4 ft x 4 ft x 3–4 ft high
Weight: 6–8 stones, 80–350 lbs each
Installation: Professional recommended
Color: Hill Country Natural

Garden Accents
The kind of pieces that don’t ask for attention—they earn it.
Sculptural, grounded, and right at home in any landscape worth standing in. Born in the desert. Built to stay.
Old English Trough
Clean lines, sturdy shape. These planters are great for a simpler look and come in small, medium, and large. Can be sealed to hold water for aquatic plants or still features.
French Countryside
These planters are something special—shallow, oval-shaped basins that really show off the character of the Tuff. Available in three sizes, sold as a set or on their own.
Bird Bath or Feeder
You can order this piece as a bird bath or a bird feeder. The bird bath will come with piping, ready to be set up. The bird feeders get shipped assembled with sealant.
State of Texas
These are real works of art—and a favorite among fellow Texas folks. A strong addition to any landscape. Available in small, medium, or large.
Mushroom Set
Hand-carved and full of charm, these stone mushrooms add a groovy touch to any landscape. Sold as a set of three or individually—your pick.
Benches
Our limestone benches are something else—three solid pieces: two sturdy bases and a slab that steals the show. Available in satin or polished finish.
At Big Bend Stone, we work slow, carve honest, and let the land lead. Every piece is shaped by hand, made to last. Curious to see one in person? Find a nearby location.
FAQs
-
No ma’am (or sir). We’re wholesale only. Our products are heavy, handcrafted, and meant for retailers, landscapers, and folks who can handle a forklift. But you’re welcome to browse and find a nearby retailer through our map.
-
Each piece is hand-carved from Tuff—a volcanic ash stone pulled from the earth in northern Chihuahua. It’s naturally porous, so most planters will drain over time. We drill holes in the bottom (with a couple of exceptions) just to be safe, and some styles can be sealed for water features or aquatic plants.
-
Yes, with the exception of the French Countryside planter, Old English Trough, and Entrance Planters. Rocks do absorb water, so most of the water will be taken in. Do know that the holes are not necessary. So if you receive a rock without a drainage hole, don’t worry and we would advise against doing it yourself.
-
Because they’re all geologically formed and shaped by hand, no two are exactly alike. If you need something that feels like a set, we’ll do our best to pull pieces that go together—just know the variation is part of the charm. You are getting something that’s one-of-a-kind. Truly.
