Street Furniture Installation and Maintenance.

Landscape Services will source, install and maintain your street furniture.

Street furniture can be a crucial factor to consider when building vibrant public and private outdoor spaces. They create inviting, useful urban environments, adding both personality and function to an otherwise functionless place. This also impacts community interaction with the environment, providing comfort and promoting social and personal activities. A bench, for example, can be a place of rest, but it can also signify a key viewpoint, or become a place to meet and interact with others.

In essence, proper planning and maintenance of street furniture, such as benches, bins, information boards or planters, can enhance liveability, meeting the needs of your residents, staff or visitors.

At Landscape Services, we understand the critical role street furniture plays in enhancing public spaces and fostering vibrant communities. We offer services throughout the South East, handling everything from sourcing to installation and maintenance of various street furniture items.

 

Key types of street furniture:

As experts in the installation and maintenance of various types of street furniture, Landscape Services can provide a multitude of amenities to adorn your commercial or public spaces.

Here are some of the key elements we routinely work with:

  • Benches offer a comfortable resting spot. They invite people to stop, relax and enjoy their surroundings, alone or with others, promoting a sense of community and leisure.
  • Bins are essential for maintaining cleanliness in any outdoor area. Well-placed bins will encourage responsible waste disposal and keep spaces tidy. This in turn can reduce the chance of attracting pests.
  • Picnic Tables are an ideal choice for parks, communal gardens or corporate campuses. They foster a shared dining experience, encouraging social interaction.
  • Bike Shelters or Racks promote eco-friendly transport options. These shelters provide secure and convenient storage for bicycles and scooters, encouraging commuting by cycle and contributing to sustainability.
  • Planters brighten up any outdoor space. Planters filled with vibrant flora contribute to visual appeal and can serve as natural screens or boundaries. They can also provide a disability-friendly experience for people with low mobility or those in a wheelchair.
  • Information Boards offer important wayfinding or informative content. They enhance the visitor experience by providing structure and clear instruction, and are essential for large, open spaces like parks or nature reserves. Information boards can also be used to advertise or for crucial warning or awareness signage.
  • Outdoor Art adds aesthetic value and intrigue. Outdoor art installations can contribute to local culture and give spaces a unique identity. If you’re looking for something functional you could also consider a feature such as a pond, fountain or water feature.  

 

Together, these elements contribute to creating diverse and functional public spaces that are inviting and beneficial for all users. We find street furniture works best alongside some of our other hard landscaping solutions, including paving and fencing.

 

Street furniture maintenance services

Keeping your street furniture looking and working its best is important to maintain its functionality and aesthetic. A damaged, defaced or dirty piece of furniture could put people off using it and also pose a significant risk to health and safety.

Landscape Services provides comprehensive maintenance services for all kinds of outdoor installations. Our teams perform routine inspections and can provide or arrange for necessary upkeep, adhering to a tailored schedule based on the furniture type and usage.

For furniture covered under one of our inspection or maintenance schedules, each item will be classified based on a scale of whether the furniture needs immediate, routine or any care at all. Our customers will then receive a clear report outlining the status of their street furniture and suggesting any required actions. This process ensures longevity and optimal performance of your installations without the need to check each piece yourself.

Our highly skilled team, operating across various locations within South East England, handle all tasks from minor fixes to complete restorations, ensuring your public spaces always remain welcoming and functional.

The main five benefits of regular street furniture maintenance:

Regular maintenance of street furniture is not just an upkeep task, but a value-adding service with several benefits.

  • Improved Functionality: Through regular upkeep, furniture remains functional and fit for purpose, ensuring users receive the maximum benefits from each piece.
  • Increased Community Engagement: Well-maintained public spaces invite community interaction, promote inclusivity and foster a stronger sense of community.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Regular maintenance enhances the visual appeal of an area, contributing to the positive image of your public or commercial space.
  • Increased Safety: By continually maintaining street furniture, potential hazards can be identified and resolved promptly, ensuring public spaces remain safe for all users.
  • Cost Effective: Regular maintenance helps to identify minor issues before they develop into major problems, potentially saving significant replacement or repair costs down the line. 

 

The benefit of maintaining street furniture extends beyond the physical object. It plays a vital role in enhancing the overall experience of the space, benefiting both the users and the community.
