It's almost miraculous that a weathered piece of 50 year old railway sleeper can be transformed from a battered chunk of wood into a smooth rounded bowl. A magical change that leaves one open mouthed!

A real work of landscaping art, as the railway sleeper raised beds dramatically curve and wind their way around the edge of the garden, creating stylish planting areas for the stunning plants. Fabulous.

Straightforward, immensely strong and as durable a wooden fence as you can get. Whether it's a stockade holding back a herd of cows or a simple rustic boundary, old hardwood railway sleepers are perfect for long lasting heavy duty fencing.

The eye-catching contrast between using old, irregular oak railway sleepers to build a more uniform and precise raised bed structure is really unique. Reclaimed from a Belgium Metro line, each aged railway sleeper is full of weathered character and unpredictable appeal.

It can be hard to know how to use the narrow space between your house and your next door neighbour. Sometimes it ends up being a chaotic space of bins, ladders and unused bikes, somewhat similar to the infamous cupboard under the stairs. So all credit to Pete for using new railway sleepers to landscape this confined area and create a stylish and functional planting bed.

There is something solid and substantial about using reclaimed Dutch oak railway sleepers. A feeling that if you were return to this garden in 50 years, you would still find these wonderful Dutch oak railway sleepers proudly holding their own, unlike the fence which will have been replaced many times over, and the owners long since moved. Another impressive long-lasting project by Justin.

Hats off to Colin & Sarah for creating an excellent raised pond that they have impeccably documented with a fine collection of photos that show every stage of the build, including even the delivery of the railway sleepers. All in all, a wonderful achievement, and an impressive and attractive water feature that has saved them thousands of pounds!
