Types of garden sculptures

You’ll find many types of garden sculptures in Australia, the most popular of which include some of the following.

Garden ornaments

You’ll find many popular types of small garden ornaments, which can be anything from ceramic animals to cement mushrooms, providing different elements and looks. Garden ornaments rustic in finish can suit informal planting schemes, particularly where timber, stone or muted metal already feature. Outdoor garden figurines can sit among low planting or beside a path, where their scale can be read at close range.

Garden statues

The first designs we generally think of with garden statues are of people like ancient Greek heroes or maidens draped in cloth. However, there are many elegant designs that are available. Outside statues can provide a focal point among planting, paving or lawn, with their scale and material helping determine where they sit.

Functional garden decor

Functional garden decor can be anything from an ornamental rock that lights up to a plant wall where you can grow your herbs during the year. Garden accessories can include sculptural pieces that add form and texture without taking up much ground space.

Wooden ornaments

Wooden garden ornaments generally look more natural in a yard but require more maintenance. There are options like a wooden gazebo, hardwood beams, and more.

Fountains

Fountains are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The sound of water becomes your backdrop, and your fountain centrepiece looks stylish in the yard.

Art sculptures

Some statues aren’t humans but artistic pieces made from copper wiring, old junk, and twisted metal with some extremely unique creations available. You can even find glass sculptures available.

The advantages of high-quality garden sculptures

Garden sculptures and decor are a way to liven up your yard and enhance its appearance. In addition to garden sculptures and decor, retaining walls can enhance the appearance of your outdoor space and add a touch of sophistication. The best ornaments in Australia will add a stylish and unique element to your space. High-quality garden sculptures are made with superior-grade materials and craftsmanship meaning they’ll be more robust and last longer while having better design credentials. Many are made by renowned artisans making them an investment in their own right adding even more value in the long term. Suppliers of high-quality sculptures also tend to offer other high-end products like water features that you can also add to your garden. Garden accessories and decor can also be used to connect a sculpture with nearby planting, paving and outdoor furniture.

How to choose a garden sculpture that’s right for you

There are a few things to consider when choosing the perfect garden sculpture for your garden in Australia. The first consideration is to do with aesthetics and the look and atmosphere that you want to achieve with your choice. A sculpture is fundamentally a decorative piece by nature so its appearance is something to prioritise. Consider the impact you want it to have. Do you want it to blend in seamlessly with its surroundings or do you want to make a statement with it? Last but not least, you’ll want to think about the material of the sculpture and how that will react to your local climate and conditions. A robust choice is always recommended as it will otherwise quickly lose its original lustre.

What are garden sculptures made out of?

Garden sculptures are made from just about any material. However, the most common and popular materials to use are concrete, metal, and resin. These ornaments don’t rust, rot, or become brittle, making them long-lasting and durable. You can also use almost any mould to make your choice of sculpture.

Where should a garden statue be placed?

They are often the centrepiece of your yard, so you want to place them where they’ll stand out. One idea is to put it in the centre of a flower bed or against a contrasting backdrop. You can also situate it higher than the rest of the flowers and decor.

How do you protect outdoor statues?

You must maintain your decor pieces, especially as the sculptures are exposed to the elements outside. Every season you should ensure your statue still has a layer of protection, whether a clear resin or UV protectant spray. Clean it regularly and ensure water doesn’t pool somewhere on it.

How do you keep garden statues from falling over?

The best way is to add a concrete base, which ensures the statue won’t fall. Bury this base in the ground so that it’s not visible, and the statue becomes even more stable. Try drilling a hole in the statue’s bottom and inserting a metal spike into it and the ground.
