A wonderful project that is starting to look really impressive. Most people won't realise that the sheer graft involved in lifting and cutting each Azobe railway sleepers is considerable and Ian definitely deserves a landscaping gold medal purely for completing the task! His retaining walls flow beautifully around the garden, highlighting the different levels, and the overall design is wonderful.

THEY ARE ALL TRIPLE WINNERS!
Firstly, for every Ukrainian new oak railway sleeper they have bought from us, we have donated on their behalf £3 to D.E.C.'s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
Secondly, they are supporting a family sawmill in Ukraine that had to close when the war started, as it was situated close to both Kyiv and the Belarus border.
Thirdly, it's a chance to buy wonderful new oak railway sleepers from approved well managed forests that are brilliant for landscaping. WIN, WIN, WIN!

It is refreshing to see dozens of gnarled and weathered old hardwood railway sleepers marking out parking bays on the wooded seafront along the delightful Mornington peninsular in Australia. They blend in perfectly next to the trees, unlike the normal concrete bollards and metal crash barriers that you see popping up everywhere.

What astonishing attention to detail and joinery skills. Most landscapers simply bolt their railway sleepers together and rely on the weather to sort out the finished look. Not so with Tony! He has impeccably created his oak landscaping with exact precision and hours of craftmanship to create a finished product that is closer to a beautifully grained oak table than simple raised garden borders!

It's a real pleasure to see the stage by stage pictures of Paul's landscaping unfolding and the creation of his driveway & raised garden area. Clearly he's still got a little further to go, but it's already clear that his ongoing project using over 70 reclaimed Dutch oak railway sleepers has wonderfully transformed the huge open area around his house. Very impressive.
