Foliage Density Optimization in Custom Topiary Fabrication – 2026 Event Sculpture Specs

Foliage density plays a big role when you're working with topiary sculptures. It affects not just the look but also how well your design holds up over time. During custom topiary design and fabrication, the goal is to achieve a balanced look: full and striking, but not so dense that it traps moisture or adds unnecessary weight.   Thoughtful spacing improves airflow, which helps keep the structure dry, stable, and durable.

Match the foliage density to the size and purpose of your topiary sculpture. Larger pieces meant for public spaces or events may need denser coverage, especially if they’ll be placed under bright lights or ...
