Celebrating 100 Blogs

One hundred blogs. That’s one hundred opportunities to share ideas, celebrate design, and connect with you—our community. As we hit this milestone for our Word On The Streetscape blog, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the journey so far: the trends we’ve explored, the products we’ve highlighted, and the projects that have inspired us. Here we take a look back at some of our favorite blog posts from nearly 10 years of creating content about Keystone Ridge Designs and the site furniture industry.

Design Trends That Shape Outdoor Spaces

Since our very first blog in 2015, Four Trends in Site Furnishings, we’ve been committed to exploring the evolving world of outdoor design. While trends have shifted over the years, our passion for thoughtful, innovative design remains constant. From tracking outdoor design shifts following the pandemic in Unique Outdoor Spaces and Outdoor Furniture Trends to showcasing our current Top Sellers and Powder Coating Color Trends, we’ve strived to provide timely, relevant insights that resonate with our readers.

We also have focused on topics and trends that matter to our clients and communities. Blogs like Reducing Waste: It Takes All Sorts and Sustainability at Keystone Ridge Designs address critical issues and share how we’re working to be part of the solution. Whether we’re writing to educate, inspire, or spark meaningful change, our goal is to shape a better outdoor experience for everyone.

Spotlights on Iconic Products

We do love to occasionally toot our own horn, showcasing notable products both new and old. From the highlights of our 2020 Greatest Hits post to the unique finds in our Hidden Site Furniture Gems blog, we’ve illustrated our commitment to creating innovative yet practical solutions for public spaces.

Our blog has also been a go-to source for curated collections, like Top 9 Modern Outdoor Benches or Top 6 Traditional Bench Designs, helping clients find the perfect fit for their projects. And when it comes to unique and custom offerings, features like The Beauty and Benefits of Wood Grain Aluminum, Customization 101, and Customization 102 continue to inspire fresh possibilities for site furnishings.

The Projects that Inspire Us

One of the most rewarding aspects of our blog is showcasing Project Highlights. These features allow us to celebrate the creativity of our design partners while sharing how their visions come to life with our site furnishings. Over the years, we’ve highlighted many inspiring projects, each reflecting the unique collaboration and craftsmanship that drive our work. Do you remember some of these favorites?

Behind the Scenes

We’ve always enjoyed pulling back the curtain to give you a glimpse of what makes Keystone Ridge Designs unique. From celebrating our rich history to highlighting the efficiencies in our manufacturing processes, these blogs offer a deeper look at the passion and craftsmanship behind our brand. Whether it’s reflecting on our 25th Anniversary milestone in 25 Years of Outdoor Furniture, showcasing the heart of our team in American Makers, or emphasizing purpose-driven production in Production with Purpose, these stories capture the essence of who we are.

For those curious about how our products come to life, blogs like Powder Coating Perfection, Design Details, and How It’s Made dive into the artistry and precision that define our manufacturing process.

Industry Insights

An exciting aspect of the site furniture industry is the diversity of clients and outdoor spaces we get to be involved with. Our blog has allowed us to explore the unique needs of various industries, from senior living communities to schools, parks, gardens, churches, zoos, ski resorts, and beyond.

A standout favorite is showcasing site furniture applications for kid-centric environments. Our Site Furniture for Kids post highlights the thoughtful designs and playful touches that create welcoming spaces for the youngest users. These stories remind us of the important role site furnishings play in shaping meaningful experiences for all ages and spaces.

100 Blogs and Counting

Every blog is a reflection of who we are as a company—dedicated, creative, and always looking forward.
