Artificial Trees and their "planting"

Hi. I have just about finished de-crudding my front garden, I've taken out all of the crud left there by the house builders. I'm at the stage where I'm ready to re-lay the topsoil onto a bed of what looks like brown sandy soil, rich in stones. The topsoil (which is more like a black colour) will be 20cm or 8 inches deep.

I'm wanting to buy at least one pair of artificial topiary trees to "plant" in the garden. I'm hoping to source ones that are 5 or 6 foot tall (ideally). What I am concerned about is the security of the trees. It would be good I think, if the trees could be fastened down in some way. And on that score, I am wondering if, before I re-lay the topsoil, whether it would be sensible to install on top of the brown soil, a stainless steel, 30cm -ish square or 30cm diameter round tube acting as a sort of "receptacle" where the trees would go. The topsoil would then be re-layed around these "receptacles" setting them into the topsoil layer. I'd then have to figure out how to attach the tree to that receptacle, that tube in the ground.

I'm not sure whether there is a system that has been designed that prevents someone "uprooting" an artificial tree and running off with it. Anyhow, comments appreciated. Thank you.

 

I'd be more concerned with how they react to sunlight after a couple of years, rather than some one nicking 'em!.
Maybe I'm biased as I absotively loathe pretend plants.....sorry

 

Hi. What tempts me to "plant" artificial grass and these two artificial topiary trees is the low maintenance thing. However, I do intend to plant living plants as well. I particularly enjoy those early bloomers such as snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils. I have a spot for them which is one long patch of ground 60cm wide by about 8m long. I'll be asking questions about their planting in another post, unless I see some instructions.

 

Artificial plants, FFFFFFFF

Have a look at what is available for securing garden statues, birdbaths and urns to the ground. Generally some kind of ground anchor in a concrete block.

 

What do the manufacturers suggest?
I cant think anyone will be running off with them.
