Garden benches can really enhance the look and feel of your yard, especially if you have spent time landscaping it getting just the look you want. If you've spend the time and energy on your yard and garden you want to be able to sit outside and enjoy it. Besides it can be so peaceful to sit outside to enjoy your hard work while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature -- away from the phones, computers and other distractions. Garden benches have a way of making an area look inviting and cozy.

Deciding you want to get a garden bench is one thing, but what kind do you want? What will work best for your needs? There are a variety of them available and they all have different benefits and features. Of course you want to get one that will fit with the look of your yard, so that's a good starting point but there are a few other things you may want to consider. You'll also want to think about whether or not you want it to have a back rest, or arms. Do you want just a flat bench, or do you want something with a back that may be more comfortable to sit in for longer periods of time.

Wood Garden Benches
Wood makes a nice, earthy material for a garden sitting area. It already has the feeling of the great outdoors and feels natural outside. You can find wood garden benches in a variety of styles and shapes. You can even have them handmade if you are looking for something specific but aren't finding it. Some woods can handle the elements better and are lower maintenance than others. If you want the bench to last make sure you get one made from a durable weather resistant wood like teak.

Metal Garden Benches
The most popular metal garden benches are those made of cast iron or cast aluminum. These benches are very durable, weather resistant and easy to clean. Of all the types these are probably easiest to clean because stains can't be absorbed into the material. But if the paint happens to chip on these you will want to repaint that section so you don't have the risk of rust.

Stone Garden Benches
Stone garden benches are very sturdy, weather resistant and easy to maintain. Depending on the style you choose this type of garden bench can provide an aristocratic look, a modern look or a natural look to your outdoor area. You can find them in colors ranging from light to dark and you can even have something etched in them to make them more special.
