Hedges and Topiaries
ROOFTOP HEDGES
ROOFTOP HEDGES
Rooftops are some of the last sanctuary spaces left in a lot of cities. Between gridlocked streets and offices that buzz with industry, it can be hard to find a place to catch your breath and process. Rooftops let you connect with surrounding nature and the open sky, and appreciate the complexity of the city from a distance as you take a brief step back from life. A concrete rooftop dominated by air conditioning units isn’t exactly a sanctuary, however. In order to create a biophilic refuge, we recommend using artificial rooftop hedges.
ROOFTOP HEDGE APPLICATIONS
Every rooftop space is different, some are shadowed on every side by taller buildings, and some have a clear view for miles. Whatever the case, artificial hedges can be used in a number of ways to add calming character and utility:
- Wind blocker
- Privacy screen
- Column wrap
- Perimeter wall
- Space partition
- Shade
BIOPHILIC REFUGE
The real power of a rooftop refuge comes from its connection to nature. Few spaces in a cityscape promote that connection – reminders of plants, animals, wind and sky.
That’s why artificial hedges make such an excellent addition to your rooftop space – not only do they enhance the view, but they help to blend your space with the natural scenery all around, further promoting the restorative connection with nature.
CUSTOM ROOFTOP HEDGES
Every rooftop space has different goals and needs that customized artificial hedges can solve. We design and build hedges at any height, any shape, any scope of project.
LOW ROOFTOPS
Low rooftops can gain some privacy with artificial hedges while also dividing up their space for more efficient use. Low, boxed hedges are usually enough to divide and define areas.
MID HEIGHT ROOFTOPS
If you have a rooftop area surrounded by onlooking windows, tall perimeter hedges can serve as privacy screens to deter prying eyes and increase the feeling of comfort and security.
HIGH ROOFTOPS
High-rise rooftops can benefit from hedges as wind screens, using using artificial greenery to cut down the incoming wind load, making the rootop space much more calm and practical.
ARTIFICIAL HEDGES AND TOPIARIES
ARTIFICIAL HEDGES AND TOPIARIES
Topiaries have classically been used as a status symbol used to demonstrate wealth and importance, and reflect an orderly design aesthetic. They have been used in hedge mazes, sculpture gardens, and adorned the grand entrances to valuable estates for generations. However, whereas classic topiaries require years of growth and a constant cycle of care and maintenance, artificial topiaries and hedges can be constructed in a matter of weeks, and installed without ever needing watering or cleanup.
CUSTOM ARTIFICIAL TOPIARIES
There are no limits when it comes to designing your custom artificial topiaries. Whether you need simple hedges or a fifteen foot tall dragon made out of artificial Boxwood, we can build unique hedges and topiaries that suit your one-of-a-kind space.

PERSISTENT PERFECTION
Classic live hedges and topiaries need constant maintenance to look good, quickly becoming misshapen, discolored, or overgrown with neglect. Using premium artificial materials means you get hedges that look freshly trimmed – all day, every day.
Our artificial foliage materials are second to none, using industry-leading UV-resistant materials to protect from sun and weathering, and Flame-retardant materials for indoor applications for the most fire-safe topiaries anywhere.
FAQ
Artificial Hedges and Topiaries have a practically endless number of applications and design possibilities. Here are some of the most common questions we get about custom topiaries.
WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS FOR CUSTOM DESIGNS?
Extremely small features and details (3-6 inches or smaller) are sometimes lost due to the textured surface of the foliage. Most custom topiary designs work well at a large scale.
CAN YOU BUILD INDOOR AND OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS?
Yes! We use rust-resistant frames and UV-resistant foliage for outdoor applications, and flame-resistant foliage for indoor applications so that the product properly abides fire codes.
ARE ALL ARTIFICIAL TOPIARIES MADE OF BOXWOOD?
No. In fact, we offer eight standard foliage types including Boxwood, Large Leaf Boxwood, English Ivy, Pearl Grass, Azalea, Creeping Fig, Juniper, and Artificial Reindeer Moss. Each type of foliage has a dramatically different look, and changes the whole feeling of the project space.
