Thank you for your excellent question about the sourcing of our park bench materials. It's a topic we're truly passionate about. Yes, we are proud to say that a significant and growing portion of the materials for our park benches is sourced locally whenever possible. We have established strong partnerships with regional lumberyards and metal fabricators. This approach allows us to closely monitor the quality and sustainability of our raw materials, from sturdy hardwoods to recycled steel components.
Sourcing locally is a core part of our philosophy for several reasons. First, it significantly reduces the environmental footprint associated with long-distance transportation. Second, it allows us to support the local economy and skilled craftspeople in our community. We believe this creates a deeper connection between the finished bench and the public space it serves. The materials are selected not just for their beauty and grain, but for their inherent durability and resistance to local weather conditions, ensuring the benches last for generations.
While our primary goal is to use local resources, we maintain strict standards for sustainability and strength. If a specific, highly durable hardwood or a specialized recycled plastic component is not available within our region, we will responsibly source it from verified sustainable suppliers. Our ultimate commitment is to provide public spaces with benches that are environmentally conscious, built to last, and contribute to the unique character of your community. We are always transparent about our sourcing, so please feel free to ask about the specific origins of materials for any project.
