636 fake landscapes teardrop and ball topiary frontage mayfair (2)

That’s a very early townhouse somewhere in W1. The client isn’t here very much, so our stuff makes perfect sense - and will look right regardless of the time of year when they turn up. Those are our slim ‘pencil’ teardrop topiary on the first floor, so that light still gets through those nice tall windows. 636

635 def fake landscapes2m laurel topiary 'lollipops'

More from the same Singapore project (you can tell from the planters…), more big mushroom-shaped laurel trees. They’re not quite as tough as the buxus, but last surprisingly well when there’s an overhanging roof, as here. 635

634 bay cubes

Here’s something from our cubist period. LOL, ROTFL etc. Bay rather than box, and cube shapes work much better when the planters are larger. These are overseas, so we built them as ‘drop-ins’, fully tweaked, so they could be installed hands-off. 634

633 fake landscapes topiary 700mm boxwood

Buxus balls in cubes with a fantastic view behind, out west along the Thames. These are fairly sizeable and visible from some way off, so we made them extra shaggy. We matched the diameter of the balls to the diagonal of the planters and it worked out well, allowing that none of us liked maths at school… 633 (Squadron)

Here’s a good example of re-using existing planters after the real stuff had pegged out, allowing guests to see the machinery room out of their hotel windows! It’s a simple symmetrical mix of teardrop shapes and balls - with similar ‘waistlines’ - to stop the eye from looking further without being an obvious blocking device. 632

631 good singapore bays

Another nice mixed project in the Far East, with boxwood and cypress, plus a pair of our 2m tall laurel trees with a flattened dome shape. The canopies are around 80cm across, and the larger dark green leaf works well with the slightly paler box and cooler-toned Cypress. 631

Closed, sadly, at the time of writing in early 2021, The Ledbury has fantastic food - and impeccable taste in topiary as well! Can’t wait till they re-open so we can update this blurb. 630

613 TFL final

Here’s one of those weird and wonderful things we get asked to do from time to time. The idea was to discourage people from vaulting the barriers to get to the buses. We thought the 3D logo worked nicely, but in the end there wasn’t the budget. Which is hard to argue with, judging by the journey-to-work stories here most days! 613

612 fake landscapes 1KG envelope buxus on balcony

Last but not least, here are a set of classic hedges designed to line up with the doors and windows of an apartment. They let light through but you don’t have to trouser-up as you move around inside. Allegedly! 612

610 ac covers wip 11 11

Yes, more boring cubist stuff, but with a difference - these are to conceal air-conditioning units and are built open-backed on a steel mesh. The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that it’s not the same leaf type as the others. It’s actually made with a flatter and even tougher variant so that it can be pressure-washed regularly to remove the dust the a/c units blow through. 610
