Sitting Walls

Sitting walls are attractive structures that provide comfortable seating options. They define outdoor living area elements, enhancing your landscape's appeal and usability. These low-height structures typically range from 18 to 24 inches tall and provide casual seating in outdoor areas. You can choose from straight, curved, or configured walls in various shapes to suit your landscape design and personal preferences.

At Spectrum Landscape Services, we specialize in creating custom sitting walls that transform outdoor spaces into comfortable and welcoming retreats.
