Christmas Topiary Ideas

Live boxwood is the easiest to live with — it is naturally dense, clips cleanly into cones and balls, and handles a cold porch. Preserved juniper keeps its colour with no water or light at all, and artificial spruce is the right answer outdoors where nothing will survive. We grow, preserve and build all three.

Artificial and preserved-for-exterior pieces can stay out all winter. Live boxwood handles a cold porch well but should come in during a hard freeze. Live boxwood is the hardiest of the live options.

Years, with light, careful watering and a trim a few times a year. That is the main reason people choose one over a cut tree or a seasonal arrangement — it is not a decoration you throw away in January.

For a table, 18–24 inches. For a doorway, 30–48 inches and always buy a matched pair. For a lobby, a staircase or a storefront, 5–7 feet. If you are unsure, send us a photo of the space and we will tell you what fits.

Yes. We build custom topiary sculpture on welded steel frames — including seasonal and branded pieces for hotels, cities and events. Custom work needs 4–10 weeks, so Christmas commissions should start in the autumn.
