What we do
Bespoke seating built into the architecture of the garden. Oak slat benches set on brick or stone bases. Bench tops integrated with raised-bed cap detail. Long benches running the length of a fence panel where the garden wants somewhere to sit without claiming the floor space. Built per project — never catalogue items, never freestanding.
How we approach it
Designed alongside the brickwork or retaining structure that supports it. Slats spaced for water runoff, end-grain protected with stainless cap details, fixings hidden where the joinery allows. Hand-finished in the workshop, fitted on site once the supporting structure is settled.
A bench is the joinery that makes the wall worth sitting on.
Materials
Air-dried green oak as standard, with the option of iroko or accoya for higher-exposure aspects. Stainless fixings throughout. Brick or stone bases match the surrounding hardscape — we don't bring in a different language for the support.
In practice
The bench portfolio is currently limited; built-in seating is bespoke per project and discussed at brief stage. Site visits across Hampshire are free.
