Victorian terraces in Shortlands know the struggle – narrow plots demanding clever solutions. Timber sleepers turn challenging gradients into usable space, creating retaining walls that blend seamlessly with period properties. From contemporary raised beds in Sundridge's newer developments to traditional edging along BR2's tree-lined streets, these versatile railway-style timbers adapt to any garden vision.
Hardwood oak sleepers weather beautifully, developing silver-grey patinas that complement Bromley's mix of red brick and rendered facades. Pressure-treated softwood alternatives suit tighter budgets without sacrificing longevity. Each 2.4m length slots together like oversized building blocks – no mortar mess, just solid construction that holds back tonnes of earth while looking effortlessly natural.
Twenty years serving BR postcodes means understanding which timber suits Bromley's clay-heavy soil. Local knowledge matters when you're choosing between green oak that'll last decades or treated pine perfect for temporary features.

Stock permitting, 3-5 working days gets timber to your door. Bulk orders for larger Sundridge gardens might need an extra few days to source matching batches.
Treated softwood carries decade-long protection against rot and insects. Oak naturally resists decay for 20+ years untreated, making it ideal for Bromley's damp conditions where longevity justifies the investment.
Absolutely – stacked and secured properly, they create robust garden stairs. The rough-sawn texture provides grip even when wet, essential for those tricky slopes common around Bromley's hillier neighbourhoods.
