You need to use the right setup \u2014 like weighted bases, hidden anchors, or protective barriers \u2014 to keep them in place and looking clean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start with proper installation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use stakes or weights to anchor large artificial plants. These are especially effective in windy locations. Some installers also integrate traps into the base of the topiary structure to prevent shifting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add weight to the bases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Weighted bases prevent large artificial topiary balls from moving even when bumped or pushed. They also minimize the risk of accidents in busy areas. For especially windy areas, built-in stakes or ground anchors can provide additional stability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Incorporate planters into their design<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Placing topiary balls in planters can also help keep them securely in place. Just be sure that the containers have adequate drainage to avoid water buildup, and choose a planter that can handle the size and weight of your topiary balls to prevent tipping.<\/p>\n<p>Planter size also matters. Choose one that leaves 2 to 4 inches between the edge and the base of your arrangement. To hide the starter pot, match the planter height closely and check how much space sits between the rim and the lowest leaves (this is where you\u2019ll add filler). If the planter\u2019s too deep, use soil, sand, or bricks to raise the base so the foliage sits flush with the top.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Need help installing\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/topiarytree.net\/product-category\/artificial-topiary\/ball-topiary-artificial-topiary\/\"><strong>large artificial topiary balls<\/strong><\/a><strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like expert assistance, TopiaryTree.net can help install and secure\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/topiarytree.net\/product-category\/artificial-topiary\/ball-topiary-artificial-topiary\/\">large artificial topiary balls<\/a>\u00a0for both residential and commercial spaces.
