When you are sitting on those outdoor benches what will you see? Sure, you have trees, but what are you doing to bring on the wildlife? You may want to start shopping around for bird feeders and birdbaths. These too can be found to fit any décor style you have in effect in your backyard.

Here are the moves, implement them anytime during your walks:

On the other hand some design studios overprice their benches calling them “designer” models. Think well whether you are really getting something exceptional, and that you really need it before spending thousands on a single bench.

A wooden bench can enhance an area and can be used to spice up an area. Lets take a bench at the poolside. It can be used as a decorative item around the pool or can be used by the person that is wanting to suntan next to the pool.

Material

One can purchase a bench that is going to add that special focal point or a person can also build his own bench to fill that empty space in the garden or at the pool or on the patio etc. If you are going to build your own make sure that the construction is of good quality and that the right type of wood is used to withstand the elements if the bench are going to be exposed to the heat or cold. If built correctly it will give you years of pleasure just by looking at it.

Named for President Lincoln’s Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, Stanton Park features an expanse of four acres at 5th and C St., NE. Ironically, the statue at the center of the park honors revolutionary war hero, General Nathanael Greene rather than Stanton. Greene is credited with helping to drive the British out of the Carolinas and Georgia in 1782 during a critical period in history. Formal walkways and flower beds encircle the statue and highlight a play area that was added in the 1964 update of the park design.

Want to be extra green in your backyard? In addition to enjoying the plants and flowers of your yard, you also can choose recycled materials for your garden benches. We’re not talking about stacking old tires up and sitting on them, but instead looking into the number of recycled products that have come on the market. Many of these poly plastics are formed to look just like wood, or other high-end plastic outdoor benches.

Wooden benches can add value to a garden or park or any environment if it is placed in the right spot. A person or persons can sit for hours on a wooden bench and let time pass by, admire a garden, solve problems, relax at the poolside, brainstorm an idea or work on a plan of action for the day.
