Features of manufacturing garden and park sculptures

The manufacture of garden and park sculptures, and their subsequent use, allows giving the landscape uniqueness and modernity. In the past, landscape architects were considered true masters of their craft. They possessed the necessary knowledge, a deep aesthetic sense, and a great imagination, which is why their works still produce a mesmerizing impression on us.

Today, ready-made sculptures are presented in a wide variety of variations, but the price range is quite high. That is why many users resort to the independent manufacture of garden and park cultures.

Features of using molds for garden and park architecture

The task of garden architecture is to softly and unobtrusively emphasize the unique character of each garden. Then, individual elements of garden architecture adapt the garden for use by its owners. The placement of individual garden elements and their use should emphasize the originality and beauty of the garden. Concrete architecture fulfills not only a practical function, but with correctly selected materials and molds, it is also a wonderful aesthetic decoration of the garden. The undeniable advantage of concrete elements is that they do not require maintenance and provide practical benefits wherever necessary. You can combine different colored materials or stick to a single style.

Pros and cons of molds for garden figures

The main advantage of using molds for garden figures is, of course, individuality. You can create the shape that will completely suit your garden and the conceived landscape design. Therefore, after first studying all types of molds for the manufacture of garden and park sculptures, you can proceed to create your own form. Another plus of molds is their low cost. In fact, using a mold and independently pouring the concrete mixture will allow you to significantly save money compared to buying a ready-made garden figure. The sizes of molds for garden figures are completely different; you can choose some universal size for further operation.

In our store, you can find not only molds for the production of garden and park architecture, but also molds for concrete decor.

Features of preparing the mixture for the manufacture of garden sculptures

Garden figures are most often produced using concrete. This material is popular due to its low price and versatility. It is suitable for creating both simple figures and complex ones with various decorative elements. There are a large number of additives to the concrete mixture that improve the structure of the finished product.

Some of them:

• PVA glue — improves the frost-resistance parameter of the finished product. When pouring the mixture into the mold, the fact of fast "setting" must be taken into account. Dry cement with the addition of PVA can set in longer periods than regular cement.
• Liquid glass — reduces water permeability and accelerates the "setting" of the mortar. However, remember that such a component in the total mass of the mortar should not exceed 1%.
• Plasticizer — another option for an additive that increases the plasticity of the concrete mortar. The main thing is not to overdo the dosage: literally a teaspoon per bucket of mortar.
