🗿 About Our Large Stone Garden Ornaments
Large stone garden ornaments create instant focal points that anchor your outdoor space with timeless character. Our collection features handcrafted pieces weighing between 25kg and 180kg—substantial enough to withstand British winds without toppling or shifting.
Every ornament is cast from reconstituted limestone, a blend of crushed limestone and architectural aggregate that is naturally frost-proof to -20°C. Unlike hollow resin imports, these solid pieces develop a beautiful aged patina over 12-24 months as moss and lichen settle into the textured surface.
What you'll find in this collection:
- 🏛️ Classic Stone Statues – Greek goddesses, cherubs, and traditional figures
- 🐦 Stone Bird Baths – Pedestal and ground-level designs
- 🧘 Buddha Garden Ornaments – Meditation poses and seated figures
- 🪴 Stone Planters – Urns and decorative containers
- 🦁 Animal Sculptures – Lions, dogs, and wildlife pieces
Supplying UK gardens since 2012 with free pallet delivery direct to your driveway.
📏 Choosing Your Large Stone Garden Ornament
Size matters more than you might expect. Ornaments between 60cm and 90cm tall suit most borders and patios, while pieces over 100cm work best as standalone lawn features or positioned at path endings.
| Style | Best Match | Suggested Pairing |
|---|---|---|
| Formal/Traditional | Classical statues, lions | Box hedging, gravel paths |
| Contemporary | Abstract forms, spheres | Ornamental grasses, slate |
| Cottage | Bird baths, animal sculptures | Lavender, climbing roses |
| Japanese/Zen | Buddha statues | Bamboo, acers, raked gravel |
Prices in this collection range from £129 for smaller pedestals to £1,299 for grand classical statues. Our Guide to Choosing Stone Ornaments covers positioning and scale in detail. For taller pieces, browse our Stone Pedestals & Plinths to add height and create proper proportions.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Use a soft brush and plain water to remove loose debris. For stubborn algae, mix one part white vinegar to four parts water and scrub gently. Avoid pressure washers above 1,000 PSI—they can erode surface detail. Most gardeners prefer leaving some patina for that authentic aged appearance.
Reconstituted stone (cast limestone) handles UK winters best. It is non-porous once cured, so water cannot penetrate and freeze-crack the surface. We guarantee every piece against frost damage for 5 years. Avoid terracotta and unsealed concrete—both absorb moisture and crack below -5°C.
Expect weights between 40kg and 180kg depending on size. A 90cm Buddha weighs roughly 65kg; a 120cm classical statue reaches 120kg or more. We include the specific weight on each product page. Pallet delivery gets your ornament to the driveway—you will likely need two people and a sack truck to position it in the garden.
Yes, but we suggest waiting. New stone develops natural grey-green tones within 18 months as lichen colonises the surface. If you prefer colour, use exterior masonry paint after the stone has weathered for one season. To speed ageing naturally, brush on natural yoghurt—moss usually appears within weeks.
Weight alone keeps most pieces stable—anything over 50kg rarely shifts. For extra security, apply exterior construction adhesive (like Gripfill) between the base and a plinth or paving slab. Some customers drill a 10mm hole through the base and pin it into concrete using a stainless steel rod. Neither method is visible once positioned.
