Description
Contemporary Garden Masterpieces
The Concrete Spheres by GIST are masterfully sculpted garden accents. While spheres are often considered a modern aesthetic, these can also complement rustic and farmhouse gardens depending on the color selected. Available in 2 set sizes, with individual spheres ranging in weight from 30 lbs. to 300 lbs.
💧 Fountain Usage: These spheres can be plumbed for use as a water feature at no additional cost. The design team will cast a 1/2" PVC pipe through the center. If desired, simply include a note on the Cart page under Order Instructions, or call us after placing your order.
Tell A Story with Your Garden
Each Modern Concrete Garden Sphere is individually hand built of commercial-grade Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). Choose from the full range of GIST's color finishes and accent stripes to compliment your existing landscape.

Delivery Methods That Appear at Checkout
"Standard Shipping" – Free to our customers
- Arrives on a pallet via LTL freight truck (similar to large furniture).
- Placed near the bottom of the driveway and off to one side, wherever you direct.

"UPS Insured" or "USPS Priority" – Free to our customers
- Automatically selected for small/light items that are delivered in a parcel box by UPS or the U.S. Mail.
- When ordered in addition to a palletized item, the design team will include it on the pallet if possible so that both items arrive together.
Upgrade: "Threshold/Inside Property" – Rates provided at checkout
- Same as Standard Shipping, except the freight carrier will cross your property line (i.e., the threshold) and lower the pallet outside of the first dry area (e.g., garage, covered porch).

Hard-to-Reach Addresses for Pallet Shipments
- Most LTL carriers use a standard 28-foot trailer, and it is the driver's discretion if they can safely drive down your street.
- For hard-to-reach addresses (i.e., narrow or dead-end streets) or unusual driveway configurations, some carriers may charge extra or require the shipment to be "rescued" by a different carrier. If this happens, we'll relay the additional cost for which you are responsible.
Help prevent an unplanned extra cost by using the Order & Delivery Instructions box on the Shopping Cart page to give us a heads up about any potential delivery considerations before the order is ready to ship.
➤ When in doubt, opt for the Threshold Upgrade, as this covers a lot of tricky delivery requirements with the freight carrier.
Misc. Delivery Terms (pallet shipments only)
| Special Instructions | If there are special delivery instructions for the freight carrier, please let us know at the time of order so accommodations may be made. There may be additional charges for special requests or you may need to make your own delivery accommodations once the piece arrives to your area. This is especially true for high-rise buildings. Cancellation of an order after it arrives and is subsequently determined to be undeliverable is subject to courtesy partial refund only after a Policy Exception is authorized. |
| Delivery Appt. & Holds/Storage | Similar to furniture deliveries, the carrier may call you before delivery to schedule drop off. If you commit to an appointment and are not present to accept delivery, or if you confirm a delivery date and subsequently reschedule, a re-delivery fee may be charged for which you are responsible. If the carrier must hold your pallet beyond their standard courtesy period, you are responsible for any storage fees. If a shipment is at risk of being returned to the design studio because you cannot be reached, Fountainful may update the service level to No Signature Required to spare you from shipping costs should a pallet be returned. |
| Change of Address | Any fee charged by the carrier for a change/re-consign of the original delivery address is your responsibility. |
| Forklift |
A small handful of items will require you to agree to the Forklift Delivery Terms before you can add the item to your cart. In these cases, the pallet(s) cannot be lowered on the lift gate and must be removed from the truck with a forklift. Plan ahead by contacting a local contractor or small equipment rental outfit (e.g., Lowes) if you're not already working with a landscaper who has this equipment. |
Always inspect your delivery. See the Refund Policy for a Delivery Inspection Checklist.
