Before you settle on your ideal frog statue, you should consider a few things: design, placement, and plant life.
Design
Frog decor has long been a blank canvas for bringing a touch of personality, with anthropomorphized amphibians adopting a range of hobbies, careers, and poses to reflect the preferences of their proud owners.
If you want to keep your landscape more naturalistic, choose designs that reflect the lifelike characteristics of nature’s best flycatcher or showcase your lifestyle with outfitted options engaged in human activities.
Placement
While some frog stone statues are ideal for ground level, more miniature figures or those in certain poses might require special consideration if you want them to look just right.
For example, a lounging frog catching a few rays would look far more appropriate atop a tree stump or relaxing on the pool deck than nestled amongst a sea of fountain grass.
However, a more realistic design would fit swimmingly near the border stones of your backyard pond.
Plant Life
Many examples of garden frog decor include floral elements or serve as planters. You can mix and match your plant life to correspond with the colors and flora featured in your froggy figures, helping create a more cohesive design palette that won’t clash once your garden is in bloom.
Alternatively, you can create a web-footed wonderland by focusing on plants that can help attract living specimens to your landscape. Examples of frog favorites include water lilies, hosta, marsh iris, and ferns, as they make an ideal shelter for protecting their sticky egg sacs during the breeding season.
7 Absolutely Ribbet-ing Frog Statues
Now that you know the design, placement, and plant life of the area your new addition will occupy, we’ve rounded up seven cute frog stone statue options that prove your admiration for these pond-dwelling pals.
1. Tricycle Frog Planter
Frogs are industrious creatures, spending their days keeping the insect population under control and ensuring the ongoing longevity of their ecosystems.
It makes sense, then, that the charming polliwog featured on the Tricycle Frog Planter serves double duty as a delight-worthy piece of decor and a planter ideal for smaller blooms like dwarf evergreens, sea lavender, and barrenwort.
2. Golfer Frog Cast Stone Garden Statue
This dandy fairway-loving golfing frog is a must-have personality piece for folks who prefer to spend their weekends on the greens. Golfer Frog Cast Stone Garden Statue dons the classic flat cap perched “just so” between his lively eyes and has his favorite set of clubs swung over his shoulder.
It’s easy to picture this leggy linksman practicing his putt with porcupines or sizing up the swing of a salamander, thanks to his lifelike proportions and texturing.
3. Tiny Frog Cast Stone Garden Statue
If you’ve been searching for the perfect pint-sized guardian for an indoor terrarium or balcony garden, the Tiny Frog Cast Stone Garden Statue statue is the right jumper for the job.

If you find amphibians toad-ally irresistible, the Forest Toad Garden Statue is sure to bring a smile to your face every time you catch a glimpse of his good-natured grin. Its wide stance and lively eyes are breathtakingly realistic, making it look poised to pounce on the nearest fat, juicy fly.
His craggy skin creates multidimensional color and harkens back to the forest floor he calls home, with a mossy texture that makes the ideal canvas for a naturally wearing finish.
5. Giant Frog Cast Stone Statue
Once your love for frogs has outgrown small accent pieces, the Giant Frog Cast Stone Statue is the ultimate statement. At a whopping 22” x 24” x 20” and tipping the scales at 217 pounds, this sizeable, slimy-skinned stunner will happily take up permanent residence near a pond or as the centerpiece of your landscape plan.
In the springtime, you can make this behemoth bullfrog even more endearing by adorning its head in a selection of arranged flowers freshly picked from your garden.
