Planters - Do you sell those pots. »

Susan Cohan, APLD I don't sell those pots. They're hypertufa and relatively easy to make.

Are these outside fireplace clean outs or? »

COASTROAD Hearth & Patio Looking at the other photos, this all appears to be a fairly sophisticated woodburning outdoor cooking setup.

Typical cleanouts, or ash doors, are usually about 8"x 8" and cast iron, like the little door above all the rest of the double doors.

Susan Cohan, APLD It was built in the 1920s. Yes wood burning and those are clean outs.

Aloe, scilla, gasteria and haworthia are a few examples of succulents that thrive in the hot, bright summer sun. If you're looking to increase the beauty of your outdoor scape, consider planting flowering Autumn Joy — which not only is pretty in its own right but also attracts butterflies.
But in this photo, the concrete is left rough and rustic, giving a casual and well-worn appearance. As this material is practically indestructible, you'll have concrete containers around for years and years.
