"But why should I care about artificial topiary balls?" you might be thinking, as you sip your coffee. Well, hold onto your gardening gloves and get ready to unravel the secrets that are about to upgrade your front porch game without all the plant parenting drama. So, let's roll up those sleeves and learn how to pick the crème de la crème of topiary balls for your front door dazzle.

1. Size Matters

You want your home to give the impression that you know what you are doing decor wise, & that you love your home, right? Getting the right size scale topiary balls matters. Too big and your space looks crowded, too small and you don't make the impact you intend to. If you have a large space or front doors that are grand, use the largest topiary balls you can get your hands on. If your front door needs just the finishing touch, you can go for average sized topiary balls (16" diameter is average). This example below shows a beautiful grand front entrance. We placed the largest scale topiary ball (23” diameter)with a 30” tall planter (15” opening). You can see that the topiary balls are just the right size to make a great first impression, any smaller and the visual effect would be underwhelming.

2. Materials - more than meets the eye

If you are going to place an artificial plant at your front door it's going to make a statement, so make sure you get it right. It's not just about the look or filling space visually, it's about how they feel too. There are different types of foliage available for topiary balls, some look real - others, not so much. Plastic definition has come a long way, so use that technology and get something of great quality. The best bet is to go with topiary balls that fool people, keep them guessing if they are real or not. Always place something at your front door that you are proud of, it's your guests first impression of what is to be expected inside your home.
