Thank you for your excellent question! This is a common consideration for anyone purchasing park benches, whether for a public space, community project, or private garden. I'm happy to provide a clear breakdown of the services typically available.
In most cases, reputable suppliers offer flexible options to suit different customer needs. For commercial clients, such as municipalities, schools, or corporate campuses, full-service delivery and professional installation are commonly available. This "white-glove" service ensures the benches are placed exactly where needed, securely anchored to the ground for safety and longevity, with all assembly completed by experienced crews. This is crucial for high-traffic public areas where durability and correct installation are paramount.
For residential customers or those with smaller projects, many companies offer curbside delivery. The bench arrives safely packaged, and you would handle the movement to its final location and assembly. Some suppliers also provide a two-tiered approach: professional delivery to the site with an option for add-on installation services. It's always best to check directly with the specific supplier about their service area, installation requirements (like concrete footings), and associated costs.
So, to answer directly: It's often not just one or the other. You can usually choose between professional delivery and installation, or a pickup/DIY approach. When requesting a quote, be sure to specify your location and project details so the provider can outline all available service options for you. Always confirm the service details before finalizing your purchase to ensure a smooth experience.
