Our commitment is to perfection, fuelled by the knowledge that this bench will be a treasured feature for generations.

Paul heads our production department, taking immense pride in ensuring every one of our stunning Garden Benches leaves our warehouse in perfect condition. This is no small feat as hundreds of our stunning benches can be dispatched each week. Jamie and Harvey assist Paul, meticulously guiding each bench through our rigorous quality control checks.
Though time consuming, every single one of our benches is traditionally constructed using robust mortise and tenon joinery with durable teak dowels, ensuring unmatched structural integrity. Each piece is fine sanded and every brass plaque, stainless steel plaque and wood engraving is scrupulously checked against your written requirements before being prepared for dispatch. We operate with a simple philosophy, every bench leaves us in the same condition as if it were for one of our own family members. Nothing is ever too much for our clients.

"As Design Manager at Wealden Benches, my role is cantered on perfecting the personalisation and design details for every celebration bench. Every customisation, whether an inscription or a complex motif, begins with a conversation about our customer's vision. I approach each design with meticulous care and attention to detail. Whether it's a simple name and date or a custom design that reflects a beautiful garden or a family crest, my goal is to ensure the final result is both beautiful and lasting. Knowing that my work becomes a lasting, personal feature in our customers outdoor spaces is both humbling and motivating. Seeing photos of finished benches that I have engraved and hearing from families about how the design completes their garden is the most rewarding part of what I do."
