From our base in Blackburn, Woodscape has meticulously manufactured premium, sustainable hardwood street furniture for projects across the UK for decades.

You’ve likely encountered our in-house crafted work: relaxing on a custom-designed hardwood park bench with backrest, navigating pathways guided by durable oak timber bollards for pedestrian safety, or seeking shelter under our bespoke hardwood bus stop shelters with integrated seating.

We specialize in creating high-quality, long-lasting timber street furniture and structures that seamlessly integrate into their environment, becoming a natural and enduring part of the community. We manufacture commercial hardwood planters for urban landscaping projects, and also supply replacement hardwood timber slats for park benches.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How was the company founded?

Woodscape, a leading manufacturer of durable hardwood street furniture, was established in 1977 by John and Jeanette Buchan. Pioneers in the use of naturally robust timbers for public space furniture, they laid the foundation for our commitment to quality and longevity.

In the early 1990s, their children, Katy Hill and Richard Nelson, joined the business, driving its growth. Under their leadership, Woodscape has expanded to a substantial 45,000 sq ft manufacturing and distribution centre in Blackburn, Lancashire.

Today, our team of over 50 skilled professionals collaborate with the UK’s top landscapers, architects, contractors, and developers, providing bespoke timber street furniture solutions for a wide range of projects. We specialize in high-quality outdoor furniture, manufactured from sustainable timber sources.

What key features define the company?

At Woodscape, caring for the environment is key. We were one of the first in the street furniture business to get FSC® Chain of Custody Certification. We did this because it’s the right thing to do, not just because customers asked for it. This shows we’re a responsible company that makes sustainable hardwood outdoor furniture and cares about the world.

Beyond our commitment to sustainability, Woodscape is known for pioneering innovative designs that often set the standard for the street furniture industry. Our approach to design, driven by a deep understanding of both aesthetics and functionality, results in beautiful hardwood timber pieces that are frequently emulated.

We strive to ensure our eco-friendly street furniture reaches the market without harming global forests, providing clients with ethically sourced timber products and forward-thinking design solutions

What products do you have in your range?

Woodscape offers a comprehensive range of hardwood street furniture, including hundreds of products featured in our extensive catalogue. While we are renowned for our premium hardwood seating, our product line also includes durable timber planters, robust hardwood bollards, commercial litter bins, and custom signage solutions. Our products cater to diverse needs, from small community enhancements requiring accessible park benches to large-scale urban redevelopment projects demanding bespoke street furniture design. We supply sustainable timber outdoor furniture to various industries, ensuring quality and longevity in every piece.

What are your lead times?

Woodscape understands the importance of meeting project deadlines. While we can expedite the manufacturing of basic timber street furniture components, our production schedule is typically planned weeks in advance to accommodate construction timelines. For complex, large-scale developments, particularly those involving custom-designed hardwood furniture, our team often engages with clients over 12 months prior to project commencement. We prioritize building long-term, mutually beneficial relationships within the industry, ensuring timely delivery of high quality park and street furniture.
