When you want to create a sophisticated landscape for your home or business, large artificial topiary balls can help you achieve that with a more polished look. But how do you know which size will look right in your space? Here are a few things to consider before choosing.
Use oversized topiary balls around entrances
Large artificial topiary balls are common in spacious areas to keep the space looking balanced. They work particularly well around front doors and building entrances, as well as garden entryways. Place one on either side of an entrance you can instantly give the area a more defined, finished appearance.
You can also place them around patios and outdoor living spaces. Try positioning them near your furniture to add greenery and/or help separate one area from another.
If you really want people to notice your landscaping from a distance, use an extra-large faux topiary ball to get the scale you need. It will create a strong visual feature without requiring the constant trimming demanded by a living topiary.
Match your topiary ball to your planter
Even large artificial topiary balls can look surprisingly natural in deep planters. Just be sure to measure the opening before choosing a topiary ball to get the right proportion that results in a polished and more finished arrangement.
Ideally, your planters must have an opening of at least 12 inches for large faux topiary balls. You can use round and square planters, and the decision depends on the rest of your landscaping.
Generally, the ball needs to be 3 to 4 inches wider than the pot’s opening so it rests securely on top, so for a pot with a 12-to-13-inch opening, buy a 16-inch topiary ball.
