Welcome to the website for landscape facilities products and knowledge.
We're on a tight budget for the new plaza; what are the most cost-effective options for benches and a trashcan?
“I hear you—budgets are tight, but the plaza still needs to shine. Think of me as your thrifty but creative consultant. For benches, skip the ornate cast-iron and look at powder-coated steel or recycled plastic slats. They’re tough, weather-proof, and surprisingly affordable—often under $200 each. Plus, they don’t need constant painting. Pair them with a simple metal frame and you get a clean, modern look that lasts years. For the trashcan, a classic galvanized steel or heavy-duty polyethylene can is your best friend. They resist rust and dents, and many come with a removable liner for easy cleaning. Look for a model with a domed lid to keep rain out and pests away. Pro tip: bolting bins to the ground prevents theft and tipping. You can even source these from local suppliers to save on shipping. With a little planning, your plaza can feel polished and welcoming without breaking the bank.”
