This lifesize topiary elephant starts as a welded steel and wire-mesh frame, built at true elephant scale on a stable four-leg base, the same wireframe construction shown in our workshop photos, with the trunk, ears, and legs shaped before any foliage goes on.
Because each piece is custom made, the finished look, the density of the covering, whether it’s lit for evening display, and the exact stance, is worked out with you when we quote the commission. What stays constant is the build: a real, welded metal armature designed to carry outdoor foliage or moss for years, not a lightweight decorative shell.
At full scale, an elephant topiary like this reads as a landmark piece rather than a garden accent: suited to a plaza entrance, a corporate courtyard, a public garden, or any space built around a single, large sculptural feature. Once planted or covered, its condition depends on the foliage or moss chosen and how it’s maintained going forward.
Send us your site details, intended finish, and any lighting requirements, and we’ll quote the frame, covering, and delivery together.
