MAKING QUALITY TOPIARY FRAMES SINCE 1981

Cliff Finch’s Topiary Zoo, a family business run by Cliff and Joanie Finch, has been making quality frame topiary since 1981. From small tabletop topiary designs to life-size animal topiarys, each topiary frame is made by hand with utmost care. The topiary frames are individually welded with heavy-gauge steel wire; then powder coated, a process which bakes on a durable finish, or hand-painted with a rust-resistant paint.
