Artificial topiary is part of an expanding market in faux plants and foliage, ideal for those without green fingers. Faux topiary offers a great way to enliven your garden or outdoor space with anything from a bespoke artificial topiary tree to the most fanciful sculpted shrub. Artificial topiary trees require no pruning, unlike real topiary trees, and require no watering or pest control. Outdoor artificial topiary trees can be supplied in long-lasting, UV resistant varieties, and we also offer fire-resistant options, providing year-round greenery to your outdoor space, front door, or entrance.
Qu'est-ce qu'un topiaire ?
Topiary is an Art, and Our Artificial Trees Are the Same
Topiary is the art of trimming and shaping living plants into various ornamental designs, a practice known since Roman times. It acquired enormous popularity in the 16th century, when formal stylised gardens came into vogue, and has been in fashion ever since. Traditional topiary forms include geometric cubes, cones, buxus balls, pyramids or obelisks, as well as tapering spirals and tiered plates. People and animal shapes are also very popular, and whole garden designs can be executed with arches, mazes and the like. Traditional topiary takes time, skill and patience, but at TreeLocate, we can provide you with a premium quality and life-like alternative topiary trees at the click of a button.
Where to Buy Artificial Topiary Trees
Nous fabriquons et fournissons
Topiary used to require growing live privet, boxwood or yew and fashioning it into the desired shape. At TreeLocate all you need to do is browse our premium artificial topiary tree pages and choose what will best suit your requirements. Box or buxus is still a favoured type of topiary, and our artificial buxus is second to none. Only the finest materials are used in its construction, including Grade One plastics for extremely durable and realistic foliage. For our hedging we use premium marine-grade plywood to provide a long-lasting and durable internal structure for lifetime topiary.
The botanical genus of buxus contains about 70 different species, commonly known as box or boxwood. There is plenty of variety to incorporate into topiary design, and the real buxus is particularly well suited to the art. Our expert designers like buxus for its ability to produce interesting and unusual shapes, which we can imitate with premium quality materials to render the most lifelike and realistic artificial topiary trees and representations. Spirals are particularly pleasing aesthetically, with buxus balls also making a popular decorative feature in many stylised gardens.

Les avantages de l'art topiaire artificiel
Pas de souci, pas d'entretien
The great advantage of artificial topiary is that no water consumption or drainage is required like the real thing, making it both cost-effective and convenient. It can be permanent or temporary, bringing beauty and style to any occasion, and it won't shed leaves or fade in the sun. You can set up an artificial privacy hedge anywhere you want, or make a temporary foliage screen that you can move around.
Vous pouvez également utiliser des haies ou des tapis artificiels pour dissimuler des dispositifs de surveillance ou des éléments intrusifs tels que des climatiseurs ou des équipements de sécurité, rendant ainsi votre propriété à la fois plus sûre et plus attrayante. Les tapis artificiels attrayants se déclinent en différents modèles : vigne, mousse, herbe orientale et buxus. Essayez des options de conception expérimentales telles que des tapis muraux, des tapis de sol ou sur le toit de votre gazebo.
Greenery is always a great choice for creating a relaxing environment, and with artificial topiary, you can provide this wherever you want, both indoors and out. It can be used to great effect in commercial spaces, exhibitions, or for seasonal decorations such as wreaths and Christmas trees.
Comment nettoyer les topiaires artificiels
C'est facile, cela ne prend pas de temps et cela fait toute la différence.
Artificial topiary and foliage will require dusting, just as live plants do, and a simple solution of mild soap on a damp cloth will be sufficient to gently wipe off the leaves on smaller trees or shrubs. In the case of a hedge or mat, you might require a soft bristle paint brush, feather duster or a gentle shower spray every so often to keep them looking clean and bright year round.
