Ball & Sphere Topiaries
Formal topiaries in the shape of balls are perfect to create formal symmetry, to decorate entranceways or line a path. They are round and a bright green, throughout the year. They are constructed using UV-protected polyethylene foliage that is reinforced with steel cores, thus withstanding wind and bad weather. These topiaries are of different sizes. The smaller ones fit on top of a table and the large ones up to 5 feet high. They are prevalent in hotels, reception facilities, offices, restaurants, homes and supplier facilities.
Cone & Pyramid Topiaries
Topiaries in the shape of cones and pyramids bring more form and architectural design to the landscape with less hassle of caring for living plants. These topiaries are weather-proof and have sturdy metal frames and heavy-density polyethylene foliage that will keep their shape permanently. Smaller cones are used to decorate residential entrances exquisitely, whereas bigger pyramids are placed on grand hotel drives and corporate environments. Their realistic textures and color shades mix perfectly with artificial olive trees and landscapes.
Spiral Topiaries
Spiral artificial topiaries are a real eye candy that can transform ordinary doors into a beautiful art piece. Their rose-like, smooth shape is very movable and elegant and immediately changes any place. These topiaries are made of synthetic branches through professional manufacturing procedures. Flexible yet strong the branches are formed into sculptural spirals that don’t droop or sag with time.
The spiral topiaries are ideal in hotel lobbies, fine restaurant foyers, luxurious homes and trendy commercial exteriors. They are robust besides being beautiful. They are also manufactured using ultraviolet resistant and weatherproof materials which do not change color and shape due to outdoor conditions. These topiaries also do not require any maintenance as they do not need any trimming or watering to provide long-term beauty and aesthetic.
Multi-Ball Topiaries (Double/Triple)
Your landscape can be vertically spiced up with multi-ball topiaries. These dome-like shapes, stacked on top of each other are distinct and attention-getting. They are built to be balanced and strong and have interconnected steel stems and weatherproof foliage. This makes them remain classy all through their lifetime.
They are perfect to complete the landscaping of estates and formal gardens. They make great accents at wedding locations, too, and provide a balanced look with an air of a tall, well-groomed topiary, but with none of the care. Multi-ball topiaries are constructed in a bold manner and they are popularly utilized as a landscape feature in both business and domestic environment.
Boxwood Hedges & Panels

These panels are made using UV-stabilized foliage in modular form and in such a way that their deep green color shades well in any environment such as commercial complex, residential terrace, event, and bistro.
They are constructed to be durable and can stand any weather. They still have their full rich look even after ten years. No pruning, watering or maintenance is necessary. These panels offer a classic and clean background to the outdoor spaces and add some sort of order and sophistication to the outdoors throughout the year.
What Key Factors Should You Consider When Choosing Artificial Topiary?
Before making your ultimate decision on the artificial topiary you want, make sure that you are prepared with what it takes to make the most sensible selection to match your landscaping objectives. These are key considerations that can assist you in coming up with a decision during installation:
Material and Realism: What Are They Made Of?
Fake topiaries depend on good materials to have the feel and appearance of real topiaries. Foliage is frequently made of high-grade silk-touch polyethylene and latex coated to show the color and textural variations and detail of natural plants.
An excellent case is the silk-touch boxwood topiary. It is a perfect imitation of the natural boxwoods, including the density of the leaves and natural coloring. These topiaries find application in high quality hotels, posh shopping centers, and luxurious office block buildings.
At FeelReal, we apply this same meticulous approach—from selecting high-grade, latex-coated polyethylene to ensuring perfect color and density—across our entire product line. This is how we deliver durable, hyper-realistic plantscapes that meet the exacting standards of the luxury hotels, shopping centers, and commercial spaces we partner with globally.
UV Protection: Will They Fade in the Sun?
High quality artificial plants will not fade easily in the sun. Premium Fake topiaries are UV tested to the limits. They would be able to retain their color in the worst climates at least 10 years. We produce UV stabilized products that protect outdoor projects such as landscaping activities like rooftop gardens, courtyards under the sun, and shore property.
Using UV-protected spiral and multi-ball topiaries around outdoor swimming pools and seaside resorts, as a case in point, will always withstand heavy exposure to direct sunlight without any signs of wearing or fading.
Shape and Size: Finding the Perfect Fit
It is important to choose the right size and shape to have harmony in the landscape. Topiaries come in small tabletop varieties that are perfect in residential patios or indoors, medium topiaries are best used as accent pieces in entrances, and large 8-10 foot topiaries are most suitable as focal point in artificial green walls.
Our custom sizing choices assist landscape professionals to achieve a perfect combination of scale and aesthetics. Such as, the small ball-shaped topiaries are great on restaurant patios and large pyramidal topiaries do a great job of accenting big entrance ways to the corporate offices and posh hotels.
Base and Potting: How Will It Stand Up?
Stability is very important for deck installations. FeelReal uses weighted bases, secure spikes and stylish but durable planters such as fiberglass, terracotta pots or rustic woods topiaries. These alternatives aid in making sure that the topiaries are well secured in windy places, high-traffic environment, and consequently, both lovely and safe outdoors. An applicable example is fiberglass planters found on rooftops of hotels and outdoor restaurants in cities, which are stable during windy weather and presentable at the same time.
Inspiring Ways to Use Artificial Topiary in Your Landscape
Fake topiaries will turn your area into a posh living room that requires less care. The following presents some of the modern and clever ways of using artificial greenery:
Create a Grand, Symmetrical Entrance
Make the entrances of luxury hotels, event venues and luxury houses more decorative and sophisticated with two pairs of matching spiral, ball or cone topiaries. Using giant and spiraling topiary at the entryway of a large hotel will immediately bring a more symmetrical and luxurious visual aspect to that particular gardening area.
On the same note, more bonsai ball topiaries with compact layout along a home driveway offer a unified, yet striking approach since the view remains constantly impressive, and you do not have to worry about upkeep.
Accent Patios and Pool Decks
Add glamour and color to outdoor areas such as patios, balconies and pool decks by using UV-resistant topiaries like box wood balls or fake lavender set-ups. This sturdy shrubbery have the ability to resist sunlight, humidity and water splashes without fading or being damaged. Smaller animal-shaped topiaries along the pool decks or around a patio seating area to provide a spa-like feel to an area, or stylish planters with box wood balls in them around the patio seating areas can provide a resort like look to a patio as well.
Design a Garden Focal Point
Topiary features such as multi-ball and spiral shapes can be used to make highlight gardens and outdoor spaces dramatic. A very large, multi-ball topiary in the middle of a formal garden can make a very beautiful focal point. On the other hand, spiral topiaries which are strategically placed around courtyard fountains or locations offer wonderful points of interest. Such patterns produce formatted beauty, permanency in the look and hence this would make perfect features in bigger landscaping models.
Elevate Indoor Spaces
Fake tabletop topiaries, bonsai plants, and potted shrubs change the interiors of hotels, corporate offices, retail stores, and residential houses. Put some imitation bonsai on the reception desks, or have small ball-shaped topiary in the retail displays to keep it always fresh and elegant. Their realistic look and maintenance-free design make them keep the indoor environment appealing and inviting without the light of the sun and without additional watering.
How to Maintain and Care for Your Artificial Topiary Plants?
You have to maintain your artificial topiary plants in a manner that they provide you with a lasting and magnificent look. The following are the care guidelines to follow:
- Cleaning: Topiaries used in outdoor and those hung should be washed using a soft spray of water. This eliminates the dirt, dust, pollen and other environmental deposits. In case of stains that are tough, apply a mild soap solution. Regular cleaning will ensure that plastic bushes remain fresh, especially those that are outdoors and thus exposed to the weather.
- Interior: Grass topiary plants that stay indoors should be dusted. Apply a soft cloth, feather duster or vacuum brush attachment. In case of sticky buildup, clean the leaves using a somewhat wet cloth to bring back the natural appearance. This basic maintenance makes places such as hotels, offices, and houses appear new and welcoming.
- Regular care: Do not forget to maintain your artificial topiary by checking it regularly to get rid of loose pieces or branches. It is possible to maintain them in condition and overall integrity by repairing or replacing them.
- Storage: Store artificial seasonal topiaries in a cool and dry well aired area. Cover with breathable material to avoid dust and damages. They should not be placed in direct sunlight, a high-humidity environment, or under high temperatures due to which the quality will be reduced over time.
