Railway sleepers have transformed countless gardens between Carshalton Beeches and Hackbridge over the years. The natural weathering suits the leafy character of SM5 perfectly, while the robust construction handles our unpredictable weather patterns. From raised vegetable beds to dramatic retaining walls, these versatile timbers solve practical problems with style.
Installation begins with understanding your ground conditions - particularly important given Carshalton's mix of chalk and clay substrates. Proper drainage channels prevent waterlogging, while strategic placement maximizes both function and aesthetics. Each sleeper gets treated against rot and positioned to work with your garden's natural contours, creating features that last decades rather than seasons.
Twenty years of working across Wallington and Sutton means knowing which timber grades suit local conditions best. Every project receives the same meticulous attention, whether it's a simple border edge or complex terracing system.

Absolutely - from the conservation area near the ponds right through to the newer developments towards Hackbridge, SM5 postcodes fall within our regular working radius.
Simple borders take 1-2 days, whereas terraced gardens or extensive retaining structures typically require 4-7 days including groundwork.
All structural sleeper work includes decade-long coverage against installation defects, with premium treated timbers carrying their own manufacturer guarantees against decay.
Sleepers excel at taming slopes - they create level planting areas, prevent soil erosion, and add useable space to gardens that drop away from those typical Edwardian properties.
