How do I get the rocks on the concrete wall? Where do I get the concrete bench tops? Can I get different colored rocks on my wall?
The concrete sitting wall you see here is 100% concrete. The wall, rocks, and the bench tops were poured all in one monolithic mass.
Incorporating the footing and the bench top makes the sitting wall all tied in together in one pour. The rocks are concrete too as we apply the rocks, carve the concrete and texture the concrete to look like rock.
We color each individual rock and concrete bench top can be colored to integrate with your color design for your sitting wall.

The Functionality of Concrete Sitting Walls
Besides the ability to add visual interest to your property, one of the main functions of sitting walls is to create barrier free patios. By sitting on the edge of your patio sitting wall, you are not only enjoying your outdoor space but also freeing up more room for other activities. In addition to providing more space on your patio, sitting walls can also help with erosion control and can create a focal point in your landscape. Sitting walls also serve as a great way to divide different areas in your outdoor space. You can use them to create a sitting area separate from your dining or grilling area. This is especially helpful if you entertain often and want to create distinct areas for different activities, such as sitting around a fire pit.
Another great thing about sitting walls is that they can be used to create privacy in your outdoor space. By using taller sitting walls, you can block out unwanted views and noise from neighbors or passerby.

Sitting Wall Types
There are many different types of sitting walls to choose from. Some of the most popular options include:
Precast concrete sitting walls
These sitting walls are made from pre-cast concrete blocks that are stacked on top of each other to create the desired height. This type of sitting wall is very easy to install and can be done so quickly and easily. Precast concrete sitting walls are also very affordable, making them a great option for those on a budget.
Natural stone sitting walls
Natural stone walls are created using real stone that is mortared together to create the desired height and look. This type of sitting wall is more labor intensive and expensive than precast concrete sitting walls, but they offer a more natural look that many homeowners prefer.
Brick sitting walls
Brick sitting walls are made from bricks that are mortared together to create the desired look. Brick sitting walls offer a classic look that many homeowners prefer. They are also more labor intensive and expensive than precast concrete sitting walls, but they offer a more permanent option that will last for many years.

Concrete Sitting Wall Maintenance
One of the great things about concrete sitting walls is that they are very easy to maintain. Unlike wood or other materials, concrete does not require regular sealing or staining. You can clean your sitting wall or other flat surface with a hose or pressure washer as needed. If you live in an area with harsh winters, it is important to remove any salt or de-icing chemicals that could potentially damage your sitting wall.
