Animal statues and human figures in concrete
From playful animals to elegant human figures and angels, concrete statues instantly add atmosphere to your garden, terrace or entrance. Concrete animal statues range from charming owls and sparrows to imposing lions, deer or dogs. Depending on your style, choose a realistic finish or a more abstract form. Human figures range from classical ladies with bowl and dancers to saints and angels, but mythical characters such as Bacchus or a powerful Thinker are also possible. See also our concrete angels and Mary statues. With concrete pedestals or a column you give a statue extra height and stature, ideal at driveways or along sight lines in the garden.
- Popular animals: dog, cat, owl, hare, lion, deer, pug
- Human figures: classical female figure, bust, thinker, dancer, angel, statue of a saint
- Style options: realistic, classical, abstract, mythological
- Presentation: freestanding in a border, on a pedestal, by a pond or entrance
Tip: combine two identical statues at a path or entrance for a symmetrical and stately effect. Prefer a contemplative mood? Choose a subdued figure or angel in an antique finish and place it among evergreens for a timeless look. For extra zen in the garden, concrete Buddha statues are a beautiful choice.
Sizes, style and color options
Whether you want to decorate subtly or make a statement, size does the work. Small concrete statues are perfect for tables, steps and narrow borders. Medium-sized statues draw attention without dominating and work well near seating areas. Large concrete statues from 1 to 2 meters, such as large classical concrete statues, create a powerful axis or focal point in larger gardens and on business premises.
- Size choice: small for accents, medium for seating areas, large for focal points
- Colors: sand for natural, antique for weathered, rust for warm contrast
- Style: classical for elegance, modern or abstract for a sleek garden design
Finish with a matching pedestal or column for extra height and balance with the surrounding greenery or paving. Looking for stone and concrete-look ornaments that combine beautifully?

Material, weather resistance and maintenance
Our concrete statues are made of solid cast stone with a high cement content. That makes them heavy, stable and perfectly suited for outdoor use: winter-hardy, frost-resistant and resistant to rain and sun. Over the years a natural patina develops that only adds character.
- Placement: on a flat, well-draining surface or pedestal
- Cleaning: soft brush and lukewarm water, no high pressure or aggressive agents
- Durability: with proper placement and basic maintenance, concrete statues last for decades
- Warranty: on selected models 2 to 10 years
