Garden Finials: How Many Do You Need

by guestpost on January 25, 2010

How many garden finials you need, will depend on a number of factors including how big the garden is, its general shape and the formality of its plan. For a perfectly rectangular, formal, clipped garden, the optimal number of garden finials is four – one for each corner. However for other garden sizes and types, there could be as few as two or as many as six or eight. Regardless, of size, shape or style of the garden, the number of finials that you use should be an even one to promote a sense of symmetry. In the world of design, however, there are those that find groupings of three to be quite pleasing as well.
