Topiary animals, by animal

Every animal we build, gathered by subject rather than by how it is finished. Each one comes as a bare galvanized frame, packed with sphagnum moss, covered in artificial foliage or turf, or wrapped with lights — and each page shows which of those we actually have in that shape, at what size, and what it costs.

In the workshop

Steel first, then green.

Three of the six stages every piece goes through. The frame is the sculpture; everything after it is surface.

  1. The same rabbit as a bare welded steel wire armature, weld points marked02Steel rod, bent and weldedSteel rod bent by hand and welded into a cage that carries the pose. Anything over six feet also gets steel tubing run inside it.
  2. The rabbit frame lowered on a hook into a bath of molten zinc for hot-dip galvanizing03Galvanized, welds includedGalvanized over every surface including the welds — which is exactly where outdoor steel fails first.
  3. Hands packing long-fibre sphagnum moss into the rabbit frame, half filled04Sphagnum packed by handLong-fibre sphagnum packed into the cage by hand and bound down, so the piece is green the day it arrives.

The full sequence — drawing, welding, galvanizing, mossing, planting and installation — is set out step by step in how a topiary form is made.

Most of what leaves the workshop started as somebody’s reference photograph. Send a picture or a sketch with the height you need and where it will stand, and we come back with a design, a price and a delivery date.

Commissions of any scale start in custom made topiary, and the portfolio shows what the largest ones look like finished.
