Hey, friend! Well, It's a nice way to take visitors on a trip of your beautiful garden over them but it's a great finish if they lead to a stunning statue.



So, you are now telling me that the majestic garden statues look good in large gardens, public spaces, castles etc.? Well, you are right but a beautiful statue, if selected properly and installed at a strategic spot of your garden/ yard, would only enhance the overall beauty.

It is up to you to choose from the mind-boggling variety of statues available from $50 to $5000 or even more. They are made from many materials.

Traditionally they are carved from rocks and polished to smooth finish. Besides the sturdy granites, which take excellent polish, marble is a favorite since ages. It lends a mystique aura to your garden, if you choose a Greco-Roman style statue made of marble.

Even metallic statues made of bronze or brass was excellent options. Metallic statues are not suitable for areas with high atmospheric pollution, sea shores and ponds with doubtable water quality.

Needless to say, these are all expensive unless you go for a really small statue. There you are, garden statues with excellent craftsman ship are also available in concrete, plaster of Paris, terracotta, even fiberglass.

Once you made a choice of material based on environment, budget and your garden size etc., its time for selection. Choose a statue that befits your stature, your taste, your family members' tastes as well the layout of garden, landscaping to be done, your house décor, especially the exterior etc.

You have a large variety of statues to choose from: Little boys, angels, cherubs, ladies and gentlemen in a variety of postures and occupations, even lovely birds, marine animals and pet figures to fierce looking beasts.

Design the statues issuing out water either into a lavish tiled pool or into your own water garden. Small statues, installed almost hidden in vegetation would also thrill visitors.

Last but not least, is to verify availability of technicalities: servicing of choked water vents, structural strength of statue, guarantee of finish/ luster, maintenance involved, etc.

Many gardening businesses undertake to install it also, for free or a fee. Otherwise, its wise to take services of an experienced garden professional, not construction engineers.

Wish you success in your search.
