The art of Topiary, having been used by many civilizations for centuries, have come to the fore recently within this development. Topiary is an art of formal or informal appearance design by pruning trees and bushes. In this study, topiary applications and problems in Kastamonu are observed. In the scope of the study; types of plants used in topiary applications, pruning forms and the areas where these materials are used in have been identified and various evaluations about applications, problems have been reached. The study demonstrated that the major problems of topiary is the lack of maintenance. The study results reveal that topiary applications in Kastamonu major on particular types and forms, too, as is in many cities of Turkey, types and forms which result in a short time have been used, ensuring the materials mostly depend on purchasing and that is why shorter species have been used more and studies demanding for many years have hardly been implemented.
