My husband and I built a cedar screen in front of our trash and recycling cans to disguise them add something beautiful to the front of the house. We didn’t want to use regular flower pots and both love industrial items. Once we saw another individual use concrete blocks for planters we knew that is what we needed in front of our cedar screen. With the addition of a little spray paint and a couple plants our concrete block planters create the perfect welcoming sight in the front of our house.

Materials

• 8x8x8 concrete blocks
