Garden Art

The piece a garden is built around

Statuary, guardian figures, pedestals, plinths, benches and ornament, chosen for the gardens where one object has to carry the whole view.

Focal points, not filler

A planting scheme reads as finished the moment there is something to look at. Garden art is what does that: a carved figure at the end of a path, a pedestal lifting an urn above the hedge line, a bench that makes a corner into a destination.

We carry cast stone ornament from Haddonstone and Campania alongside artisan and imported pieces. The casting quality is the difference between a piece that mellows over twenty years and one that goes chalky in two summers.

Pedestals and plinths are worth planning early, height changes everything about how a figure or urn sits against a wall, a hedge, or a driveway.

Statuary & figures

Guardian lions, classical figures and animal forms, set on carved bases that suit the piece.

Ornamental planters

Basketweave, fluted and relief-carved urns that work as ornament even before anything is planted in them.

Good to know

Weathering
Cast stone is meant to age. Expect it to soften in tone and pick up patina in the first couple of seasons.
Setting a piece
Anything tall wants a level, compacted base. We'll tell you what a piece needs before it leaves the yard.
Indoors too
Plenty of these pieces end up in sunrooms and entry halls. They hold up fine either way.
Designers welcome
