Our park benches undergo a systematic maintenance routine each year to ensure safety, durability, and aesthetic appeal. The process typically begins with a thorough inspection in early spring. We check all structural components, including legs, frames, and slats, for signs of rot, cracks, or metal corrosion. Fasteners like bolts and screws are tightened or replaced if loose or rusted.
For wooden benches, a deep cleaning with mild detergent removes dirt, mildew, and stains. We then apply a fresh coat of sealant or protective oil to guard against moisture and UV damage. Metal benches receive rust treatment—sanding away corrosion and applying touch-up paint or anti-rust coatings. Concrete or composite benches are pressure-washed and inspected for cracks.
Regular maintenance also includes addressing graffiti promptly with appropriate cleaners, ensuring no damage to the finish. We document all repairs and schedule replacements for severely damaged parts. This proactive approach extends bench life, reduces long-term costs, and keeps our public spaces welcoming and safe for everyone.
