On this page you will find:

  • The full range of sizes available
  • The full range of standard trees that we make
  • The full range of special trees that we make

400mm Etched White Deciduous Tree


Tree types are categorised either by the colour of the foliage, or the shape of the tree.

If there is a tree type, or size, that you want but is not listed, please feel free to contact us to discuss it.

Production time is entirely dependent on sizes and quantities, and is assessed on a job-to-job basis.

Call 020 7264 1294 direct or 020 7264 1288 and ask for the Scenics Department.

Bespoke Etched Trees

Here at 4D we welcome orders for bespoke projects.

We have the experience of many years of producing trees to the specific requirements of our clients.

Whether it is a stylised design, species-specific shape, or an altogether unconventional colouring that is required; we work closely with the client to make sure we deliver what you want.

Orders can be fulfilled within 2 – 10 working days depending on the tree type and the quantity required.

 

 

When setting up a bespoke project there is some information that we require at the beginning:

  • Contact details of the person with whom we should liaise with about details
  • A picture of the tree that is required
  • Colour specifications
  • Quantities and Heights (include other dimensions if known)
  • Latest deadline you would like the trees by
 

After receiving this information, we will develop a quote which must be approved before any production work begins.

To ensure accuracy it is important that the client supplies a suitable colour picture of the tree they wish to be made.

If we are only given a name, our idea of what that tree looks like might differ to the idea the client has.

We can usually produce a sample tree before the order is confirmed. However, this is chargeable if the order does not go ahead or if the specifications are changed.

Please contact the department directly for any other information or enquiries.

 

Below is a list of just some of the species that we have made in the past (Names are either common or latin; they are ordered one way or the other):

Western Yellow Pine Eucalyptus Plum Tree
S. African Gwarrie Loblolly Ash Tree
Delonix Regia Ficus Nitida Citrus Tree
Albizzia Julibrissin Gingko Biloba Pear Tree
Italian Alder Ficus Stone Pine
Common Alder Sycamorus Pinus Pinea
Ligustrum Lucidum Atlantic Blue Cedar Callistemon
Hornbeam Olea Europea Akazie
Ficus Altissima Acacia Tortillis Carpinus Betulus
Azadirachta Indica Strawberry Tree Robinia Pseudoacacia

Foliage/Texture Gallery


There is a large range of colour available for foliage cover. In our workshop we have pre-established colours and shades. Most of these can be used on any of the trees, in combination with differing trunk colours.

Please refer to our Texture Gallery.

We also run a colour matching service. This requires either a colour sample to match or a Pantone colour reference. There is a charge for this service as it requires time and materials to achieve. However, this is a one off charge; once the colour has been set-up for you, it is yours to order again at no extra cost.

All the trees we do can be made with any colour. We enjoy the interest this adds to the job.
