Installation, materials & documentation
High-footfall schemes are engineered for bump contact: planter edges are chamfered, lower branch rings are fixed rather than free-hanging, and the crown is kept clear of sprinkler envelopes and wayfinding lines.
Large specimens are delivered knock-down with a rigging sequence and a lift plan for the contractor; the fire pack is formatted for a venue review committee that clears many decorative installations in one pass.

Ordering & Specification FAQs
What buyers ask when specifying ficus canopy trees for airports and transit concourses — MOQ, lead time and this venue's requirements.
MOQ is project-based rather than per-SKU, and a single ficus canopy at 3–9 m with a 2.5–6 m spread can be quoted on its own. Canopy diameter is set against a seat count, so each tree is priced on its own coverage rather than on a catalogue line — mixed species and mixed sizes are quoted together.
25–35 days for standard builds, and 45–60 days for custom builds. Lead time starts from approved drawings rather than from the enquiry, and the canopy diameter and trunk form (column or arched lattice) are both drawn items — approving them together is what keeps the build on schedule.
Yes. Large builds are hoisted in manageable pieces through the finished space and assembled on site, with connection points hidden inside the structure.
Base-plate loading, anchoring method and connection details are issued as drawings, plus weld-inspection and load-test records for your authority.
Yes — 3–9 m with a canopy diameter specified against a seat count, and the trunk sculpted as either a single column or an arched lattice. Foliage density is set for the sight lines below the crown, and optional integrated LED uplighting is specified at order stage rather than added on site.
