Need the size - Looks very nice indeed. The question is how high is the back and how wide the seating area. Will do it with red stones from the area and shorter maybe.

Margie Grace - Grace Design Associates It's called Yucca elephantipes. You'll want to do your own research on its suitability for your climate, site, soil, exposure, etc.
Margie Grace - Grace Design Associates $10-12,000 depending on the stone you use --- it's about 18' long and is about 6' high on the back side as it is also acting as a retaining wall.
Margie Grace - Grace Design Associates The "palms" are Elephantine Yucca (Yucca elephantipes). They have great big broad trunk bases you can't see because the soil behind this bench is approx. 5' lower than the bench.
Margie Grace - Grace Design Associates Not a beginner project... It's mortared, reinforced, fitted sandstone over a reinforced concrete footing. You could also build it out of block and face it with stone.
Are there any plans we can follow? Items suggested or required? - I just want to build one and I'd like to know if there is a step by step plan that I can follow before heading to Home Depot!
Thank you,

Margie Grace - Grace Design Associates It's reinforced, mortared, fitted sandstone over a poured reinforced concrete footing. We laid it out in the field, so there's no plan per se. Good luck! Send a photo of the finished fence.
2. Shaded seating in California. Sometimes a spot in the shade is all you need to enjoy the outdoors. This curved stone bench looks incredibly comfortable but still blends in with its surroundings.
8. Weather the elements with stone seating. A stacked stone bench and table have a rustic elegance that would be at home anywhere from New England to California and beyond. In the summer it can play host to gatherings, plumped up with colorful cushions. In the winter it adds organic beauty to the landscape.
