How to chooseSixty listings.Three questions.
Answer these and the whole page collapses to your pair.
What's your site?
Shade points to yew or Japanese holly; hard wind exposure points to Portuguese laurel, privet or photinia (and away from bay); a sun-baked terrace with sharp drainage is olive country. Light and exposure eliminate more candidates than taste should — answer this one first.
How many trims will honestly happen?
Yew and olive ask one unhurried session a year; holly, bay, photinia and laurel ask two quick ones; privet asks two or three. None is hard work — but a schedule you won't keep is the wrong plant at any price.
What look are you buying?
Dark unchanging formality is yew. The box look without box's diseases is Japanese holly. Colour that performs is photinia and the gold-and-blue conifers. Silver Mediterranean light is olive's alone. Scent at the threshold is bay's. Still torn? A photo of the position to the free consultation settles it in a day.

The entrance
The highest-return two plants on any property: a matched pair framing the door, scaled to the frontage — presence, symmetry and a first impression that photographs as established from day one. The entrance collection and entrance bundles are built for exactly this.
The path & the drive
Repetition is formal design's oldest trick: pairs of cones or balls at intervals turn a route into a procession, and the eye reads intention in the rhythm. The driveways & pathways collection carries the forms that repeat best.
The courtyard & the statement
One sculptural soloist per sightline — a cloud pair, a spiral, a bonsai — against calm hard landscaping, ideally uplit at night. The courtyard collection and the statement tier hold the soloists.

Around the pairs: single shaped plants from £80, clipped border edging from £275 per metre, and specimen-grade trees from £4,000 via grand topiary. The full market logic is in the topiary prices guide.
Eight species.One discipline.
Same craft, eight personalities — pick by site first, then by look.
You won't find box here, deliberately: box blight and the box tree moth made it a liability, and Japanese holly is the near-identical, fully immune successor — the swap covered in our pests & diseases guide.

Buying topiary.Quick answers.
The questions buyers actually ask, answered by the growers.
Are the prices per plant or per pair?
Per matched pair, including VAT — two plants selected and grown together so they genuinely mirror. Where a single suits the position better, single shaped plants start at £80 — the compact range is the natural place to look.
How is topiary delivered?
Kerbside on a pallet by specialist haulier, anywhere in the UK, 14–21 working days from order. The driver telephones about an hour before arrival; delivery is to the kerb or driveway edge, so plan the route to the final position for larger pieces. Full details at delivery & returns.
What if my pair doesn't match when it arrives?
Every pair is photographed side by side at our UK depot before dispatch, and the 7-day Matching Guarantee backs what the photos show — raise any concern within a week and it's resolved within 24 hours — see our guarantees.
What if a plant fails after planting?
The 6-month Thrive Guarantee covers the establishment window: a plant that fails despite reasonable care is replaced at 50% of the single-plant price. After that, Lifetime Care Support keeps a grower one photograph away for as long as you own the plants.
Which topiary is easiest to look after?
Yew and olive — one trim a year each, and drought-tolerant once established. Nothing on this page is genuinely demanding: the heaviest schedule (privet) is two or three short sessions a year, plus first-year watering and one spring feed.
Which topiary suits pots?
Almost everything here — clipped evergreens are gardening's best container plants. Japanese holly, yew, bay, privet and photinia all excel in planters, and olive actively prefers a pot in Britain because it guarantees winter drainage. The full manual is in the pots guide.
Can I plant topiary all year round?
Container-grown stock like ours plants in any season the ground isn't frozen or baked — spring and autumn are gentlest, summer just means keeping up the establishment watering, and winter planting works with drainage in order. The first-year guide maps the whole journey.
Why don't you sell box topiary?
Box blight (incurable) and box tree moth (relentless) have made box a liability rather than an asset. Japanese holly delivers the same tight, formal look with total immunity to both — it's the successor the heritage gardens themselves are planting.
Do you help with choosing?
Yes — send a photo of your door, gate or garden through the free consultation and our growers will recommend species, size and placement, usually within a day. It's talked as many buyers down a price tier as up one, which is rather the point.
Matched beforeyou ever see it.
Two plants, selected together in Tuscany, raised as twins — so the symmetry at your door is grown, not approximate.
