Stone Garden Statues

Yes, our cast stone statues are frost-proof to -20°C. The porous nature of the material allows moisture to breathe rather than freeze and crack the stone. We recommend raising statues on feet or plinths to prevent waterlogging at the base during freezing UK winters.

Use a soft brush and plain water to remove loose debris. For algae or bird droppings, apply a 50/50 white vinegar solution and rinse after 10 minutes. Avoid pressure washers as they can strip the natural patina. See our Stone Statue Care Guide for detailed instructions.

Prices range from £29.99 for small animal figures to £1,500+ for large classical reproductions. Most popular mid-range pieces (50-80cm) cost between £150 and £400. Remember, free delivery applies to all orders over £50.

Absolutely. Cast stone develops authentic weathering within 6-12 months. Expect grey-green moss in shaded spots and golden lichen on sunny surfaces. This natural ageing process adds character—a 5-year-old statue looks genuinely antique.

For statues over 50kg, prepare a level base of 50mm compacted gravel topped with a paving slab. Use exterior silicone adhesive to secure multi-part sections (like fixing a statue to a plinth). Two people can safely position most pieces under 100kg using furniture straps.

Cast stone uses crushed limestone aggregate bound with cement, offering consistent quality and consistency. Natural stone varies in density and may crack in severe weather. Cast stone allows for finer detail and typically costs 60-70% less while achieving an identical weathered appearance within 2-3 years.
