Artificial trees create an extra dimension to your room by bringing colour,  texture and ambience . We firmly believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder which is why at Evergreen we hand build a lot of trees. This gives us the facility to customise the artificial trees exactly to your taste and build them in a way that looks like they have grown into your space as opposed to a standard size  been made to fit into your interior.


With so many different artificial trees available her is a simple step by step guide that will help you select the perfect tree for you.
Tree Type
To ensure the artificial tree looks credible in its surroundings pick a tree that would naturally survive in the space you would like it to sit. For example  an artificial oak tree is unlikely to look credible sat in the corner of your living room but a tree such as an Areca Palm of Ficus tree that survive well indoors would be perfect


Suggestions
Outdoor: Topiary, Bamboo, or Shrubbery
Interior: Hand built trees, Palms
Front Door: Topiary
Tree Size
We would always recommend measuring the space you would like you artificial tree to sit before selecting as very often heights can be deceiving. Also take into consideration the pot that you would like the tree to be planted in as this can add extra height , the majority of our trees when potted with the planters we supply adds around 1ft to the overall finished height.
Customise your tree
By giving us a call you can always customise you tree to make it that little bit more personal. If you are opting for a hand built tree we would suggest you firstly select you foliage and height,  then you can choose which shape suits you best. You can do this by sending an image through to us of a tree you would like to replicate or by having a browse through our own hand built trees and our gallery and choosing which you prefer.


Under planting can also be make you tree look a little more decorative and be a great way to tie you tree  into your colour theme. You can add this to any of your trees by looking through our planting section and select which plants you would like to use for the under planting.
Potting the tree
It may be that you have a planter  at home that you would like your trees to be potted  in or it may be that you need to pair a planter with your new tree. It it always worth getting advice on which tree suits the size of tree you are buying. On our site all our trees are paired with the relevant sized planter so this should be as straightforward as picking which style and colour you prefer. When purchasing a planter with your tree we will pot it up ready for you to stand in place and will add a decorative bonded stone finish free of charge. If you already have a planter for you tree then we are happy to provide you with instructions on how to pot your trees and materials if necessary.
