Sleepers That Define and Elevate Your Garden!

Timber sleepers are a fantastic choice for garden landscaping, offering a natural and rustic look while being incredibly strong and durable. Ideal for raised beds, retaining walls, garden edging, and steps, sleepers provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Available in softwood and hardwood, they can be used in modern and traditional designs. Pressure-treated sleepers resist rot and weathering, ensuring longevity. Whether you’re creating tiered levels in your garden or defining a flower bed, sleepers are a cost-effective and attractive landscaping solution.

Common Questions

What are the best sleepers for garden use?

Treated softwood sleepers are cost-effective and long-lasting, while hardwood sleepers offer superior durability. Reclaimed railway sleepers provide a weathered, rustic look but may require additional treatment.

Can sleepers be used for retaining walls?

Yes! Sleepers are perfect for building strong retaining walls. They provide structural support for sloped gardens and can be secured with steel rods or concrete for added stability.

Do timber sleepers rot?

Over time, untreated sleepers can rot due to moisture. However, pressure-treated or hardwood sleepers are highly resistant to decay and can last 15-25 years with proper installation and drainage.

How do you install sleepers in a garden?

Installation depends on the project. For raised beds, sleepers can be stacked and screwed together. For retaining walls, they should be anchored into the ground with posts or secured with brackets.
