Artificial Trees

Tailor-made concrete artificial trees

We design and build large-scale artificial trees, trunks, branches, and root systems for zoos, theme parks, hotels, museums, spa facilities, and commercial spaces. We recreate trees from different climate zones, adapting the silhouette, proportions, and detail to the selected species, architectural concept, and function of the decoration. We deliver both individual elements and extensive compositions that become the central point of a themed space.

Every reproduction is created individually. Based on photographs, models, and natural samples, we develop the arrangement of the trunk, roots, and branches, then manually recreate bark texture, knots, cracks, cavities, and exposed wood. We combine sculpting with forms made using our own method, so the surface does not look like a serial prefabricated element but retains the irregularity characteristic of a real tree.

Structure, materials, and functionality

Artificial trees can vary in height, trunk circumference, and crown span. Their base is an individually designed truss structure prepared with the dimensions, installation location, and expected use in mind. The decorative layer is made from specialist cement and polymer-concrete mixes, which we model, colour, and finish to achieve a realistic wood and bark appearance.

The project can include not only the trunk and branches, but also an extensive root system, hollows, broken fragments, planters, and elements that conceal installations or technical structures. In zoological facilities, an artificial tree can become a functional part of an enclosure, while in hotels, museums, and theme parks it builds the atmosphere of the interior, strengthens the narrative, and creates a distinctive exhibition point. We select material and structural solutions for both indoor and outdoor projects.

We have gained experience on projects of very different scale and purpose. In the Afrykarium in Wroclaw, artificial trees were created using moulds taken from real specimens growing in the jungle. For LYKKE Hotel & Spa in Chamonix, we produced 13 individual trees that became the central element of a fairytale interior arrangement. We combine technical knowledge with artistic craft so every project is believable, durable, and coherent with the character of the investment.

Faithful Reproduction

We manually recreate bark texture, knots, cracks, cavities, and exposed wood. We combine sculpting with forms made from natural samples so every reproduction retains the individual character of the selected species.

Any Scale and Form

We design individual trunks and branches, as well as trees several metres high with extensive root systems. We adapt the proportions, branch layout, and dimensions to the architecture, exhibition, and available space.

Function and Structure

We select the structure, materials, and finish according to the installation location and intended use. The trees can integrate hollows, planters, passages, installation covers, and exhibition equipment while maintaining a coherent, natural look.

Why Choose Skalisty?

We do not use serial, repeatable forms. Every artificial tree is designed individually, taking into account the selected species, dimensions, function, installation location, and viewer perspective. We combine specialist structures, polymer-concrete mortars, original moulds, and hand sculpting. This allows us to create realistic, durable, and functional tree reproductions for zoological, hotel, entertainment, and commercial facilities.

Custom reproduction: We adapt the silhouette, proportions, and detail to the selected species and the character of the space.
Custom structure: We design the structure, anchoring, and division into elements according to the scale and installation location.
Functional solutions: We integrate hollows, planters, roots, passages, and technical covers into a natural form.
Interiors and outdoor spaces: We select the technology and finish according to the conditions at the project site.
Complete execution: We lead the project from analysis and concept to execution, installation, and final finishing.

How We Work

01

Analysis and Inspiration

We learn the investment assumptions, installation location, expected dimensions, and function of the decoration. We establish the tree species or character, analyse reference materials, operating conditions, installation access, and links with architecture and technical installations.

02

Form Concept

We develop the trunk silhouette, branch layout, and root system. We select the bark texture, the character of natural damage, colours, and functional elements such as hollows, planters, passages, or technical covers.

03

Construction and Finishing

We build the structure, create the mass, manually model bark and exposed wood, then apply colour and natural ageing effects. Finished elements are installed on site, and we refine the joints of the whole composition.

Create an exceptional tree with us

Entrust us with the design and execution of an artificial tree, trunk, branches, or extensive root system. We combine an individual structure, hand sculpting, and realistic finishing, leading the project from the first concept to installation. We take care of proportions, natural detail, and functionality so the finished decoration fits harmoniously into the space and keeps a believable look from every perspective.
