Why Boxwood Is Back In 2022
If you want to update your home’s landscaping and are considering adding Boxwood topiary or shrubs or hedges to your yard, you may have done research on growing and maintaining these beautiful bushes and been left a bit…discouraged.

They look real, are always perfectly sculpted, require no maintenance, are easy to install, and offer a full five-year class-leading limited warranty.

A Bit About Real Boxwood
Native to Europe and Asia, the Boxwood is a thick shrub and a member of the evergreen family. The earliest recorded use of Boxwood was in Egypt in 4000 BC. The Egyptians planted the boxwood in their gardens and trimmed them into neat, formal hedges. That timeless technique, offering a traditional, manicured look, has endured to this day at fine homes and institutions. Now, thanks to advances in materials and production technology, there’s no need to wait for hedges to grow over time; you can purchases a gorgeous, true-to-life looking Boxwood shrub or hedge that requires no water, no maintenance, and can be enjoyed through the seasons.
What Goes Into A Quality Faux Boxwood?
Mass produced, cheap faux plants are common these days (think of that dusty old tree in the corner of your local DMV). Producing a realistic-looking faux plant, the kind that you assume is real until you find out later that it’s man-made, especially one that will last takes incredible skill, experience and dedication. Therefore, the key to a quality outdoor faux Boxwood is the use of durable materials designed not to fade or crack in the heat of summer or chill of winter.
