Topiary is more than trimming shrubs; it's a centuries-old art form requiring vision, patience, and deep horticultural knowledge. We design and cultivate living sculptures, from classic geometric forms to whimsical figures, that mature and evolve with your garden. We select species like Boxwood, Yew, and Holly, proven to thrive in Jefferson City's climate, ensuring your living art endures for generations.

Our Topiary Forms Include:

  • Geometric Shapes (cones, spheres)
  • Spirals & Standards
  • Figurative & Animal Forms

Statuary: Curating Emotion and Focus

A statue is the punctuation in a garden's story. Our curatorial approach goes beyond mere decoration. We consider scale, material, and subject to create focal points, guide the eye, and evoke a specific mood—be it contemplation, drama, or romance. We source pieces from revered local Missouri artists and esteemed international foundries, ensuring authenticity and unparalleled artistry.

Considerations for Statuary Placement:

  • Focal Points
  • Terminal Vistas
  • Narrative Elements
  • Material Selection (Bronze, Marble, Stone)
