The art of statue making in Italy can be traced back to biblical times in Tuscany. The archives of the village of Lucca mention a ‘figuri di gesso’ (figure of plaster) as early as 1373 A.D.

The Italian word for statue maker is ‘figuristi’ and it is their trade that has beautified the world for centuries.

In 1922, a father and his eight sons immigrated to North America, hoping to bring their centuries-old trade to a new land. Alfeo Bracci, the youngest apprentice of the group, made his way to Chicago to begin a new life. By day he produced small plaster pieces of saints and figurines that he sold door to door at night. In 1945, after years of hard work and faced with the new responsibility of providing for a family, Alfeo and his wife Anna moved to Southern California with their two sons, Ron and Don. It is here in 1949 that Al’s Garden Art became a reality.

Alfeo and Anna began sculpting and making molds like in the “old days”, finishing and painting each piece by hand. After more than half a century, their skills and passion for creating top quality cast stone art have been handed down to their sons and grandsons at Al’s Garden Art. The Bracci family hopes their pieces will be enjoyed by you and your family for many years to come.

Today, Al's Garden Art manufactures a wide range of decorative concrete items in 2 state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. The hand-finished products are available in a wide variety of finishes, delivered on Al’s own fleet of trucks by factory trained personnel and sold by fine dealers nationwide. All Al's Garden Art cast-stone products are created in fiberglass molds with latex liners able to duplicate the significant detail sculpted in the original design.

Each item is inspected and finished by hand before being warehoused in either our Colton, California or Columbia, Tennessee facilities. Al's offers a wide variety of designer finishes available on all of its products. Each piece is finished custom to order. We encourage you to review our color sample pages located on our product pages. Because Al's Garden Art supplies dealers in bulk, products are picked from natural stock and the desired color finish is applied. Orders are then floor loaded in our own semis which are driven by factory trained personnel who assist dealers with the initial set-up of the display at the dealer.

Al’s Garden Art is invested in the success of its dealers. Currently advertised in 15 consumer publications targeting key markets, Al’s Garden Art is committed to support the investments made by its dealers in placing Al’s Garden Art products on display in their stores. Al’s Garden Art promotes national television coverage by providing products to home remodel shows like the DIY networks Grounds for Improvement and the Discovery Home Channels Garden Police.
