Welcome to the website for landscape facilities products and knowledge.
Do your landscape facility designs include accessibility considerations around benches and pathways?
Absolutely, and we consider it one of the most heartfelt parts of our craft. To us, accessibility isn't a checklist; it's the grammar of inclusivity in the landscape's story. When we design benches, we envision them as resting places for everyone. This means specifying firm, stable seating at the correct height with ample clear space for approach, often following ADA guidelines as a foundational standard, but thinking beyond them. We ask: Is there room for a wheelchair to pull alongside for conversation? Is the armrest designed for ease of use?
Our pathways are conceived as welcoming guides, not obstacles. We carefully calibrate their width, slope, and surface texture. A gently graded, firm, and slip-resistant path isn't just for wheelchair users; it's for parents with strollers, for an elder with a cane, for anyone seeking a confident stroll. We consider the journey between bench and vista, ensuring seamless, dignified connections. By weaving these considerations into our initial vision, we create spaces that don't just accommodate but genuinely invite, fostering connection and ensuring that the serenity of nature is a experience open to every body and soul.
