A Treetop Office

An older form of natural art, called "arborsculpture," uses trees to create new and interesting works of art, or puts a tree-based spin on a traditional idea. In this example, someone transformed three hybrid Poplar trees into a treetop office area.


The trees were leveled off at a height of 15 feet.


A plywood floor was then bolted to the treetops.


A frame was built on top of the plywood floor to guide the growth of the tree branches.



Here's the completed project, with WiFi access included!

Sod Sofas: Landscaping Works of Art

The Department of Agriculture at Cornell University has Sod Sofa creation down to a science.

Oh, you've never heard of a Sod Sofa? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like. Take a look.


By shaping soil in a particular way and planing grass or moss, you can put something together that eventually takes the shape of a sofa. The grass or moss becomes the upholstery, and on sunny days, you can have a seat or lay down on your sod sofa and read a book, or chat with friends.



Since 1895, Root's Nurseries has helped residents in Central Pennsylvania create their own works of art. If you have a landscaping dream that you'd like to have fulfilled, give us a call and tell us more about it. We'd love to help!
