Custom Artificial Plants, Flowers, Boxwoods, & More in NYC
When it comes to foliage selections for an outdoor garden, artificial plants might not be everyone’s first choice. Faux plants tend to have a bad rap, mainly because you only notice artificial arrangements that are executed poorly. However, when used in the perfect setting and installed by professionals, you’ll thank the manufacturers for making those artificial plants.
Advantages of Using Faux Plants in Your Outdoor Garden
Real plants certainly hold their appeal in an outdoor garden, but in some instances, your outdoor foliage might benefit from an artificial boost.
- Low maintenance: The most obvious advantage of fake plant installations is that they are low maintenance. If you’re a frequent traveler or don’t have much time to garden, artificial boxwoods and artificial grass will offer longevity with little maintenance. Where you might have had to use a landscaping service several days a month, this might come down to a few visits a year.
- Evergreen: While many plants are affected by the changing seasons, your custom artificial landscapes will look fresh year-round.
- Versatile: Fake plants don’t require much to look great. For instance, you don’t need to worry about the soil, the drainage, or even whether the area gets enough sunlight. You can also place them in areas that are hard to reach, such as ledges and crevasses.
- Low-cost: One of the biggest cost factors to consider in a garden is how much money you spend on plants, soil, fertilizer, plant food, and then, after all that, replacing the seasonal or dead plants. Fake plants only need to be purchased once and will last several years before needing to be replaced, especially when treated with a UV seal.
- Time: Even if you buy flowers that have already started to bloom, it takes time for a garden to settle. For instance, trees need to grow, and grass, flowers and shrubs need to spread out. Hedges need to grow taller to be of any use. By using an artificial grass installation or artificial hedges, you can have an instant garden effect. This comes in handy if you’re hosting an event or show house.
- Consistency: Artificial flowers have come a long way since the designs of earlier years. However, one thing that remains the same is the consistency across the different ranges. If you buy artificial bamboo from a supplier in one city, chances are good the artificial bamboo will look the same through the same stockist in another city. For a business that occupies more than one commercial space, this is important in terms of brand consistency.
