Timber Sleepers in Purley

Timber Sleepers Specialists in Purley

Purley's mix of Victorian villas and modern developments often share one thing - gardens that slope dramatically towards the North Downs. Timber sleepers have become the go-to solution for local homeowners tackling everything from creating level lawn areas to building impressive raised vegetable patches. Whether you're dealing with clay-heavy soil that won't drain or simply want to add structure to your outdoor space, the right sleeper installation changes everything.

Selecting between green oak, air-dried hardwood or pressure-treated softwood depends entirely on your project's demands. Load-bearing retaining walls require dense, structural-grade timbers that won't bow under soil pressure, whilst decorative edging allows more flexibility with timber choice. Each sleeper gets precisely cut on-site, ensuring perfect fits around existing features like mature trees or awkward boundary angles. Proper drainage channels behind retaining structures prevent water build-up that causes premature rot.

Twenty years of working across Purley's varied terrain means knowing exactly which timber treatments cope with our particular mix of chalky subsoil and heavy winter rainfall. Every installation includes comprehensive ground preparation that CR8 properties specifically need.
