Biggin Hill's varied terrain calls for creative landscaping solutions. From the elevated properties near the airfield to those tucked-away gardens in Jail Lane, timber sleepers prove invaluable for managing levels and creating defined spaces. Premium oak and tropical hardwoods withstand our notorious chalk soil conditions while ageing gracefully through Kent's changeable seasons. Local homeowners particularly appreciate how sleepers complement both traditional cottage gardens and contemporary outdoor designs.
Installation demands precision, especially when dealing with TN16's challenging gradients. Each sleeper undergoes treatment against rot and insect damage before positioning. Proper drainage channels prevent water pooling behind retaining structures – crucial given how quickly rainwater runs off Biggin Hill's slopes. Steel reinforcement bars secure taller walls, while careful backfilling ensures long-term stability without settlement issues.
Twenty years handling Biggin Hill's unique landscape challenges means anticipating problems before they arise. Regular work throughout Keston, Westerham and Tatsfield keeps us familiar with local ground conditions and planning requirements.
