BENEFITS OF HYPERTUFA CONTAINERS AND DECORATION

BENEFITS OF HYPERTUFA PLANTERS AND DECORATION

Hypertufa is by far one of the most attractive and appealing decorations you can ever add to your garden. It looks beautiful and has so many benefits! You just need to make sure you use the right recipe and the look and functionality of your garden will increase with your own creativity. Hypertufa, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

Unique Look of Aged Stone

Hypertufa has a unique look of ancient stone. Each container made from hypertufa is unique even if you make repeated casts it from the same mold. This is because of the character of the mixture you mix and the difference wrought by your hands each time you sculpt them.

Lightweight and Breathable

Because of the lighter weight aggregates used in Hypertufa, they are much lighter in weight than pots of the same size made of cement. Furthermore, Hypertufa containers breathe and can be left out year round. They do not break apart with the freeze/thaw of Midwest winters.

Endless Opportunities for Creativity

Because of the versatility of Hypertufa as a sculpting or molding medium, you can make almost anything you want either free-hand or molded and you can decorate its surface in whatever way you like. You can make it crude or make it refined, make it smooth, press textures into it even make it smooth or stick anything into it.

Cost

If you compare the costs for making your own hypertufa containers with those of cement, you will find that your own hypertufa planters will cost much less.

Durability/Forgiving

Well-made hypertufa pots will last for years. They will withstand chilling temperatures and take on a wonderful mossy green patina through the years. You can bump it or nick it with the edge of the lawn mower and it will not look worse for the wear. If something should cause part of your planter to crack or break, you can easily mix up a small batch of hypertufa and repair it so you can’t even tell it had broken.
