How do you make an artificial boxwood wall?

by Changyou Mellish on October 01, 2022
Boxwood topiaries are a popular way to add a touch of elegance to any home or garden. While they seem like intricate works of art, they can be simple to create. All you need is some artificial boxwood hedge panels and basic DIY supplies—first, could you design for your space? You can find various formats on our portfolio page to give you some ideas. Next, prepare your materials, including plywood, timbers, galvanized mesh and DIY tools. Then, cut out the materials and make the frame. Once your structure is complete, you can use it to support the artificial hedge panels. You can create beautiful topiaries that add style and sophistication to any setting with some practice.

 

Cut and install the boxwood hedge panels.

Cutting and installing boxwood panels can be tricky, but with some practice, you can create beautiful box hedging that will add interest to your garden. First, use scissors, click the tiles together, and make clean cuts at the desired length. Be sure to angle the stakes so they are slightly longer than the frame, and finish with a roll of foliage rather than the plastic mesh backing - this will help create a more natural look. Once you've made your cuts, staple the sheets onto the frame with a stapler. Finally, use your finger to coax the foliage so there are no gaps. You can quickly turn a plain boxwood panel into a work of art with some care!

 

Care for your artificial boxwood wall.

Maintaining your artificial boxwood wall is easy—no need for water or feed. First, care for your boxwood by lightly brushing it with a dry micro dust brush to remove any dirt or debris accumulated on the leaves. You can also use a leaf blower with a low setting to clean your wall. Next, spot-clean your wall with a mild soap and water solution to remove stubborn stains. Could you first test the solution on a small wall area to ensure it does not damage the leaves? Proper care will make your artificial boxwood wall look fresh and beautiful for years.

Now that you know how to install an artificial boxwood wall, it's time to start your project! Be sure to choose the right plants, measure the area correctly, and cut and make the frame according to your design. Once everything is in place, enjoy your beautiful green space all year round.​
