Landscape Architecture

Spheres water features and pattern balls specified into parks plazas courtyards and waterfronts.

Pain Points in This Industry

  • A sphere over ∅2200mm will not fit a container, and that is often discovered after the design is approved.
  • Coastal and pool-side schemes corrode 304 quickly.
  • The base detail, pipe route and drainage are left to the fabricator with no drawing.
  • The client wants the piece to work after dark as well as during the day.

What Customers Need

  • An early answer on what diameter can actually be delivered to the site
  • 304 or 316 advice tied to the specific environment
  • Base plates, pedestal tubes and internal pipe runs fabricated with the sphere
  • Lighting integrated rather than added later

Typical Application Scenarios

  • Plaza focal sphere on a stone plinth
  • Courtyard fountain ball with even water sheeting
  • Pattern balls lit from inside along a garden path
  • Water drop forms in a planting bed

Solution Flow

  1. Concept and plan

    We read your drawing and confirm diameter, wall thickness, alloy and finish against the site.

  2. Solution and quotation

    Container or flat rack decision made now, not at shipping. Segmented construction quoted if needed.

  3. Implementation and production

    Forming, welding, grinding, polishing, plus base plates, pipe runs and LED cut-outs.

  4. Inspection and packing

    Surface checked, protective packing built around the diameter.

  5. Shipping and installing

    Loading instructions and installation guidance supplied with the shipment.

Delivery Capability

  • Diameters from ∅6mm to ∅3500mm, wall thickness 0.6mm to 16mm
  • Stock supply in 1 to 3 days on standard hollow sizes
  • Scheduled production in 7 to 15 days, sculptures in 15 to 30 days
  • Express, air and sea freight with EXW, FOB, C&F or DDU terms

Landscape Architecture FAQ

What is the biggest sphere you can deliver to my site?
∅2200mm in a standard container, ∅3500mm on a flat rack, and anything above that cut into quarters or eighths for on-site assembly.
When should I specify 316 instead of 304?
Near salt water, swimming pools, or where de-icing salt is used. 304 is fine for most inland landscape work.
Do you provide installation drawings?
We provide installing instructions and design recommendations alongside the fabrication.
Can lighting be built into the sphere?
Yes. LED kits are fitted inside pattern balls, and LED letters have been integrated into cut areas on large spheres.
