Messy kitty litter area (box recommendations?)

I have a 4-year-old Persian mix who I adore. I don't, however, adore the huge mess he makes around his litter box. I clean it daily, or every-other-day at the most. But he still manages to make a huge mess. He seems to be kicking a ton of litter out, so I am constantly sweeping. Lately I've been finding his poop just outside of the litter box too. I don't know if he's pooping outside of the box, or if he has been kicking it out. But I am getting frustrated! Any recommendations for the mess? Do you have a litter box that you love that keeps the area cleaner?
