Polystyrene Shapes In All Sizes For Artificial Topiary Gardens

As we’re sure you can tell from the sheer eclecticism of our past projects, we are not ones to shy away from a challenge when one is presented to us. One of the more audacious models to emerge from the bespoke topiary team in recent months is an incredible 1:1 scale Formula 1 car destined to be a great cause of envy in Abu Dhabi.

The skill, passion and masterful vision required to plan and execute a project of this complexity cannot be overstated. When admiring the finished model as it rests effortlessly in all its majesty, it is easy to forget that underneath its sleek exterior is a base of carefully crafted polystyrene and ingenuity.

Using a hot wire cutter guided by Foama software it’s possible for the polystyrene shapes base to be carved with unwavering flexibility and accuracy to ensure that the finished product will be one that both reflects the desired aesthetics and captures the character of the design. Once the model has been carved, it’s coated in Polyurea which hardens it. This process can be repeated as many times as is necessary so that the sculpture is durable enough for its purpose and environment. At this point, the Buxus topiary is delicately added and styled to complete the look.

UV Resistant Buxus Leaves

As well as the style and the design of any given Buxus topiary model, we take great care in protecting its integrity. A common problem with topiary is the fading of colour. If the topiary model is displayed outside, the sunlight is likely to damage it over time. This is not a problem for any topiary sculpture that emanates from Treelocate as all of our Buxus topiary designs are treated with UV resistant, light protection to completely prevent the colour from fading. This is of vital importance if the sculpture is to reside in a hot country.

Some of our sculptures have spent many years displayed under direct sunlight in some of the hottest countries in the world where temperatures regularly reach 50 degrees Celsius without suffering any loss in quality. This of course is likely to be the case with the aforementioned Formula 1 car in the United Arab Emirates. The sculpture will see out its life in the public eye enjoyed by all fortunate enough to see it.

It’s final resting place, the world-renowned Yas Marina Circuit – an appropriately grand venue.
