Artificial and Live topiaries takes many different shapes

There are beautiful flower topiaries if someone is looking for something to adorn his or her existing decor with a bit of color. I found several different kinds of looks to make sure I have something that is eye-catching.

Topiaries can be fashioned into animals.

Offers Privacy

Artificial or Live Topiaries can be as simple as a garden wall.

Walls can be as tall or wide as the property owner desires.

I have found a new and different type of hedge topiary that is suited for both indoor and outdoor exhibit. Artificial or live topiary plants in a hedge or box shape are a great way to make your space both beautiful and tidy. Artificial topiaries are fabulous for those who do not have a "Green Thumb" or the time to prune and care for living plants. Leave the live topiaries for the master gardeners.

Why artificial?

These examples are a bit complicated, but they do show you the many types of topiaries available. You can make a simple topiary mat for a wall hanging or something more complicated, as seen in the above photos.

There are several reasons why these products are as beautiful as the real plant, and no one will know the difference except you.

  • Imagine a lovely plant that needs no water consumption. Water bills will not escalate in the summer's hottest days. Thus, no worries about adequate drainage.
  • It brings about a particular class and beauty to any occasion or just for everyday use. There are single, double, or triple topiaries.
  • Keeps their intense color, always look alive, and well, as long as they do not sit in direct sunlight on a permanent base.
  • Artificial trees never turn brown or die off the tree. Their color may fade very slightly over the years, but you never have to do anything with them except for an occasional dusting. I never knew that one could make an artificial hedge for privacy.
  • Plants help the surroundings come alive.
  • Plants offer a welcoming, peacefulness of the surroundings.
  • Topiaries help people to relax in an otherwise hurried world.
  • Boxwood topiaries and Ball Topiary for inside or outside, offer the perfect fashionable decor.

As far as cleaning goes, live plants need to have dust wiped off the leaves, and so do artificial trees. Using a simple, mild soap solution made from kitchen supplies will do the job well. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the leaves.

Artificial Topiary Trees or Plants: a Gift Lasting for Years

Research the wide variety of choices for outdoor topiary plants, and some have the option of UV protection as well. Outdoor artificial topiary plants are a beautiful, low-maintenance way to add beauty and shape to your landscaping.

There are numerous variations of artificial topiary plants for outdoor display. These artificial plants come in all sizes and heights with different containers attached. These artificial plants are available in up to 12-feet in height.

Some plants come with attached LED lights and make a beautiful decorative piece for the front of an office or in the front of a home. I feel that a lighted artificial topiary adds coziness to our seasonal enclosed front porch.

Some fashionable green wreaths and topiaries resembling Christmas trees are now showing up on the internet. All these products need is some handmade decorations, and they will be ready to meet guests at the front door. Use these wreaths year after year and their beauty last for years.

Instead of cutting down a Christmas tree this year or putting up an artificial Christmas tree, think about topiary trees resembling the Christmas tree for a new slant. They are beautiful trees for Christmas. The tallest Christmas tree I have found stands 72-inches.

Artificial Topiary Walls

Topiary walls are the one thing that amaze me. I never knew these existed. Topiaries are a new and exciting thing that I found out about this week. Many people probably already know about this product, but the information is new information to me because I never really paid any attention to topiaries, much less an artificial topiary wall in a backyard for privacy.

The innovation of artificial topiary walls brings out all the beauty of landscapes while offering privacy to the homeowner. The neat thing about artificial topiary walls is that there is no care or ongoing work with the installations you install them.

Think of the water that you save because these walls do not require watering like live plants. Therefore the homeowner saves a great heap of money on water usage and rests assured there is no substantial labor for the owner in the future.

These topiary walls fit in just about anywhere inside or outside the home. I am starting to think about setting artificial mats on the top of our privacy fence to deter a couple of our felines from jumping overboard.

These artificial topiary walls help to hide mechanics such as air conditioners, and inside they can conceal a kitty litter pan. They can add beauty and accent walls. These artificial walls feature resistance to UV rays and resist any drastic changes in color from the sun. Artificial walls look alive and real.

Artificial Topiary Mats

Artificial Topiary Matts are stunning. Never maintain or water these beautiful mats. Topiary mats are designed and constructed to meet the needs of a homeowner's decor. These mats are perfect for an entrance in an office or house. They add a peaceful, decorative appeal to any porch or patio and look so real that no one can tell the difference unless they inspect and touch the mat.

I am likely the only uninformed person on this astonishing idea. I knew that artificial and real topiaries have been on the market for a long time, but by using specific artificial materials, there is so much more that this product is used for—such as a privacy fence—that I did not realize existed.
