Garden Obelisks
A garden obelisk provides vertical structure and support while serving as an attractive focal point. Whether positioned alone or arranged in a series, wooden obelisks give a landscape period character and visual rhythm.
Our obelisks are handcrafted from naturally durable timber, designed to support climbing plants while maintaining their form and strength over time. Each one is made to order, available in stock designs or as bespoke pieces customised to your garden’s dimensions and planting scheme.
Classical Designs
& Custom Commissions
Our collection features established designs refined over years of manufacture. The Ball Finial and Gothic Finial obelisks showcase traditional detailing suitable for period gardens. Our Rose Spire offers a slender, elegant shape perfect for supporting roses and clematis. Each design can be finished in natural timber or painted to match your garden design.
For those needing something specific for their garden, our bespoke design service enables you to commission obelisks customised to exact measurements, proportions, or decorative details. Our team of specialist designers is happy to suggest styles and specifications to match your needs, working with you to create structures that complement the character of your garden.
Timber Selection & Construction
We work with a variety of sustainably sourced timbers, including iroko, oak, and cedar for natural finishes, and sapele or accoya for painted finishes. Each timber species is chosen for its structural qualities and natural durability, ensuring the obelisk withstands weather while maintaining its form.
Traditional joinery techniques ensure each component is meticulously fitted and finished by hand. The trellis framework provides secure support for climbing plants, allowing stems to weave through while the structure remains visible and architecturally prominent within the garden.
Obelisks with Integral Planters
Our obelisk and planter combinations combine plant support with a sturdy base, enabling you to position climbing plants anywhere in the garden without needing border space. The planter obelisk is especially suitable for terraces, patios, and courtyards where planting directly into soil is not possible.
Each planter base is crafted with the same care for joinery and finish as our standalone obelisks, creating a cohesive structure that is both functional and visually appealing. The result is a feature that offers height, support, and planting space within a single element.
Creating Structure
& Period Character
Garden obelisks introduce vertical elements that define space and create structure within planting. Used in a series along a path or border, they establish formality and repetition. Positioned as individual focal points, they attract the eye and offer year-round architectural interest, even when not supporting plants.
We collaborate with landscape designers, garden architects, and private clients to specify obelisks that match the size of the garden and the character of the planting. Whether you need a single timber obelisk as a specimen feature or multiple structures to frame a formal scheme, we can design and produce them to your specifications.
