The Edging Handbook

3 INTEGRATE FEATURES

SEATING SYSTEMS This section covers the four main ways to integrate timber seating within your landscape design, whether it’s part of the edging or a feature on its own.

INTEGRATED Integrated seating is built into the edging, not added to it. It extends the architecture, creating a natural rhythm between the hard and the soft. Without distraction or clutter, it enhances the space with quiet permanence, offering rest where it feels most intuitive. CANTILEVER Cantilever seating offers the illusion of weightlessness, allowing surfaces to run uninterrupted beneath. By removing visible supports, it introduces a refined clarity that elevate both form and function. Its strength lies in restraint, creating spaces that feel considered, effortless, and quietly assured.

FREESTANDING Freestanding seating brings form and presence to a space through considered placement. As a standalone piece, it can act as a focal point or blend effortlessly into the surroundings, always enhancing the landscape with purpose and poise. PODIUM SEATING Podium seating elevates landscape seating beyond a place to sit. Designed as both seating and a landscape feature, it integrates into raised edging to create a larger, sprawling timber area. The modular construction supports custom layouts while allowing for concealed fixings, effective drainage and low maintenance.
