Custom Sculpture for Architecture, Public Art & Landscape

Landscape sculpture is designed to be part of the ground rather than an object placed on it. It works with levels, planting, water and sightlines — often low and horizontal rather than tall, and frequently seen from above as well as across.

Reading the site. We start from your landscape drawings: contours, planting plan, paths and approach routes. A piece intended to be discovered along a path is proportioned differently from one terminating a long axis, and both differ from something seen from a building above. Getting this right at concept stage costs nothing; getting it wrong is expensive in fabricated metal.

Materials for landscape settings. Corten is the most common choice — it weathers into planting and needs no upkeep. Stainless steel reflects sky and foliage, changing through the seasons. Painted steel holds colour against green where a landmark is wanted.

Ground conditions and drainage. Soft ground, made ground and planted beds all need different foundations. Tell us the ground conditions and we size the pad accordingly, detail it to sit below finished levels so planting can run up to the piece, and design the base so water drains away from it.

Can it be installed before planting? Usually better to. Installing while the ground is open avoids damage to finished planting and lets the groundworks contractor pour the pad without working around soft landscape. We will work to your programme either way.

How does it weather in wet ground? Corten needs wet-dry cycling to stabilise, so we keep it clear of standing water and permanently damp soil — a gravel margin or raised pad solves it. Stainless is unaffected.
