Yard Art

So a long standing dream of ours has been to have a cement yard statue of a bear. Random, yes. Awesome, yes. We are from Illinois so being Cubs and Bear fans, the idea was to have something to also dress in jerseys and paraphernalia to offend the local Colts fans as well (since we currently reside in Indianapolis).
Columbus Yard Art has come through! Located just a few miles from the outlet mall, this place has just about any cement statue you could want. You can go to their website and browse a full catalogue. They also paint the things for a little added cost. We have a 3.5′ tall standing bear that we had painted (see the picture). The guys at Yard Art did a terrific job! We called about a week ahead and they just painted (without a deposit or anything) it in one of three color schemes we selected. They seal the statue as well with a clear glaze. It was beautiful! The guy said it took three days. Wow! Once we went to pick it up they used a fork lift and even strapped it in the pickup using our straps. We essentially did zero work at pickup (now unloading is another story lol).
I’d say prices are very reasonable. We paid about $ 250 after tax with the fully painted statue, I’d say for a long lasting piece of art, that amount of money is a steal.
This is a great place! It’s fun to wander the lot and look at things if nothing else. If you need any cement statues this is the place.
