Nichols Bros. Cast Stone Spheres

The cast stone is designed to age naturally. Over time, it will develop a rich, organic patina that enhances its texture and gives it a more weathered, classic appearance.

No, these are designed as freestanding pieces. Given their significant weight—ranging from 35 to 925 pounds—they are stable on flat, level surfaces like garden beds or patios without the need for additional mounting.

Yes, the cast stone construction is weather-resistant and built to withstand outdoor elements year-round. However, if you live in an area with extreme freeze-thaw cycles, ensure the sphere is placed on a well-draining surface to prevent water from pooling underneath.

Consider the scale of your space; smaller 10-inch or 12-inch spheres work well as accents in flower beds, while the larger 24-inch or 30-inch options serve as dramatic focal points for open lawns or courtyards. If you are grouping them, mixing sizes often creates a more natural, balanced look.

Nichols Bros. uses high-quality, hand-cast stone that is engineered for durability. While it is a robust material, it should be handled with care during placement to avoid impact damage, especially with the heavier, larger sizes.
