Before you buy, and after
A giraffe topiary is almost all vertical: a tall neck over a small body. That makes it a structural job first and a decorative one second. It is built on welded, galvanized steel and finished in moss or outdoor foliage. Zoos, parks and hotel entrances use them, usually tall enough to show over a hedge or a car.

We hold 5 giraffe pieces at the moment, from 38 in to 14 ft. 4 are large enough to be quoted with their delivery rather than priced here.
Tap a finish to see only those pieces above.
Small pieces ship by UPS Ground. Large pieces travel by freight, and the delivery is quoted with the piece, so you see the full cost before anything is charged.
Pieces marked ready to ship leave within a few working days. Pieces built to order take 4 to 10 weeks, plus the delivery. Have a date? Send it with your request and we confirm it before you order.
A price on a card is what the piece costs. Custom and large pieces are quoted with delivery, usually within hours. Every custom piece is made for one client, so the schedule, deposit and any changes are agreed with you when you approve the quote.
Most of a giraffe’s weight sits at the top of a long, narrow neck, so wind loads it harder than almost any other shape. Every piece over six feet has internal steel tubing, and on a giraffe that tubing carries the whole animal. The outer cage gives it its shape.
A giraffe also has to be bolted down or set into a footing, because a spike in the lawn will not hold it. We work out the anchoring for your site with you before it is built.
Anchoring and installation are quoted with the piece. See topiary sculpture for cities and public art.
A mossed giraffe needs misting through dry spells and a moss refresh every year or so, and on a tall piece that means a ladder. A bare frame needs nothing until you plant it. Turf and artificial pieces need an occasional rinse and no watering, trimming or seasonal work.
The galvanized steel frame lasts for decades outdoors.
The care pages go through each material in full, and this eight-year-old swan shows what a restoration looks like.

These giraffes are concept renderings of pieces built to order, on welded, galvanized steel sized for their height. Tell us where it will stand and how tall it should be.
A mossed giraffe tall enough to see from the parking lot, for a zoo, park or hotel entrance. We list giraffes up to 14 feet, and at that height the footing is planned for the site first. Send us a photo of the spot and the height.
A mother giraffe with a calf at her side, the calf about half her height and looking up at her. A pair tells a story on a lawn or at a school garden. Send us the space you have and the height you want.
Only the neck and head, set behind a hedge so the giraffe seems to be looking over it. It needs less frame than a whole animal and makes people stop on the path. Send us the hedge height and a photo.
Mossed animals and wire frames start as welded steel, galvanized before any moss goes on. See all six stages, start to finish →
Tall enough to clear whatever is around them, because a short giraffe looks like a different animal. We work out the height with you for the site.
Internal steel tubing runs the length of any piece over six feet. On a giraffe, that tubing is the structure and the outer cage is the shape.
Yes. A tall, narrow animal has to be bolted down or set into a footing, because wind pushes hard on the neck and a spike will not hold it.
Moss, where the piece is sheltered and someone will mist it. For an exposed site with nobody to look after it, the same giraffe can be made to order in artificial outdoor foliage.
Yes, across the US and Canada. We normally install a giraffe rather than ship it loose.
