Choose The Right Garden Statue To Accent Your Garden
(and we're not talking about Garden Gnomes!)

If you wander through any stately garden, you’ll likely notice that garden statues are a focal point in the design. Larger gardens will use statues on a grand scale while smaller gardens might feature smaller statues strategically placed throughout.

Garden statues are still a lovely touch to any household garden. In fact, garden statues have become extremely popular and are suitable for the modern, Victorian, Zen, French, Tropical, Naturalistic garden and more.

There are several considerations when it comes to choosing your garden statue.

• Material – The materials used for garden statues are generally those that will handle the wear and tear of weather. Consider what types of materials will work best in your existing garden. Traditional garden statues were carved from natural stone, however, today you will find statues in materials such as concrete, bronze, marble, fiberstone, hand cast aluminum, and hand cast brass. Of course, different materials will come with different price points and durability.


• Subject – Garden statues are commonly used to enhance the look and feel of a garden or yard. Now that they come in almost any subject imaginable, many people use them to reflect a favorite character, theme or animal. For your own garden, think about what subject would suit both your garden and your personality.

• Placement – Ideally, you would select the placement for your garden statue when you are planning your garden design and layout. However, if you already have a garden, no need to worry, you can still find room to place your beloved statue. Smaller statues are most effective in small gardens. To get the maximum effect, spend some time considering the surrounding area of the statue so that it can blend in seamlessly with your garden design. Try it out and if the space you’ve selected isn’t working, move it around until you find the perfect spot!
