These are so expensive (at least $100 each) and I need 10 of them. Is there a cheap way to make them? They have to be modern (no wood, solid colour), durable, resist the dampness of the wet dirt and direct sunlight. The ones made of cement get stained by the elements in a few years and look like shit, so I'm out of ideas

Go further and make hypertufa. It is supposed to get all stained up. It is much lighter. It looks better the older it becomes. The only real drawback is that you must be patient when letting it cure. Follow the recipe and methods to the letter. You can make them look like cement or weather stones.
