In sculptural landscaping, few forms are as charming and visually captivating as topiary animals. These living or lifelike creations blend the artistry of sculpture with the essence of nature — shaped to resemble animals in elegant, often whimsical poses. But in modern design, topiary animals have evolved far beyond clipped hedges.

At Palatial Topiary, we reimagine the concept with a refined, architectural approach — creating handcrafted animal topiary sculptures in premium artificial grass, designed to bring story, permanence, and sculptural impact to curated outdoor spaces.

The Origins of Topiary Animals

The word topiary comes from the Latin topiarius, meaning landscape gardener. The practice dates back to ancient Rome, where gardeners trained plants into ornamental shapes. Over time, European estates adopted the craft — with animals becoming popular motifs in French and English formal gardens.

Originally made by meticulously trimming living hedges, traditional topiary animals required years of shaping and constant maintenance. Today, contemporary versions offer sculptural permanence with less upkeep — especially when crafted from artificial greenery.

Animal Topiary in Modern Landscape Design

Modern animal topiary sculptures offer more than decoration — they introduce symbolism, presence, and architectural storytelling to outdoor environments. Whether positioned at a garden entryway, nestled in a courtyard, or placed as a focal point in open terrain, these pieces embody form and meaning.

At Palatial Topiary, each sculpture is handcrafted using a steel internal frame, wrapped in UV-stabilized artificial grass, and finished for all-weather durability. From bold lions and serene deer to playful rabbits and aquatic hippos, each animal reflects a sculptural narrative.
