STEPHEN CREATES A LOW MAINTENANCE GARDEN WITH TILING AND NEW OAK RAILWAY SLEEPER PLANTERS

Thanks to Stephen for his photos. It's great to see the step by step stages of his railway sleeper landscaping evolving from muddy back garden to an impeccably tiled, low maintenance area with new oak raised planters

KAREN CELEBRATES HER MOTHER'S 80TH BIRTHDAY WITH A RAISED BED FROM NEW PINE RAILWAY SLEEPERS!

What an amazing birthday present. I love the idea of Karen celebrating her mother's birthday with a railway sleeper raised bed, and especially with a commemorative plaque. A really lovely gift, and accompanied with equally brilliant photos.

STEPHEN WATTY'S CURVED LANDSCAPING SKILLS WITH USED OAK RAILWAY SLEEPERS

STEPHEN WATTY'S CURVED LANDSCAPING SKILLS WITH USED OAK RAILWAY SLEEPERS

What an impressive landscaping project Stephen has created using reclaimed Belgium oak railway sleepers. The comprehensive set of photos show the impressive transformation of the garden and the different stages he's gone through, as he's constructed the railway sleeper walls and raised beds that edge the garden. Cutting the railway sleepers into shorter lengths and placing them vertically in a trench is such an effective and attractive way of creating imaginative curves that snake around the lawn. Brilliant.

KEITH'S STRIKING RAISED BEDS FROM NEW STAINED RAILWAY SLEEPERS

Keith has created a dramatic front garden using railway sleeper raised beds that he has stained with a dark colour to create a striking contrast with the light coloured ornamental gravel. The snowy picture is a reminder of how tough landscaping can be during the winter! A big thank you to Keith for his lovely words of appreciation to the team at railwaysleepers.com.

PROOF THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF A RAILWAY SLEEPER TUNNEL!

PROOF THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF A RAILWAY SLEEPER TUNNEL!

If for a curious dare you strangely decided to lie down on a railway track for 50 years, whilst being battered by wind, snow and rain, you'd probably be pretty worn away and weathered at the end of it. However if you decided to repeat this unusual experiment inside a tunnel, you'd come out of it in a much, much better state. Our newly arrived reclaimed Dutch Oak railway sleepers are proof of this. They have just been taken up from a tunnel after 50 years of service and are in top condition! So, next time you undertake a personal reckless challenge, choose the Tunnel option. You'll definitely look better for it!

YOU'RE AMAZING! A HUGE RAILWAY SLEEPER THANK YOU!

Throughout the world we have helped to raise an incredible £400 million for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

It is uplifting that there is such a generous desire to support the victims of massive suffering, displacement & hardship.  Your donations are a lifeline for millions of people affected by the conflict in Ukraine.

KEEP OFF THE RAILWAY LINE. (BUT NOT IN MAE KLONG'S RAILWAY MARKET!)

KEEP OFF THE RAILWAY LINE. (BUT NOT IN MAE KLONG'S RAILWAY MARKET!)

A surreal experience in Thailand as you walk along the actual railway track, stepping from railway sleeper to railway sleeper, slowly winding through bustling market stalls filled with the smells of fruit, meat, fresh seafood and vegetables and surrounded by colourful bales of silk and hanging clothes. Unbelievably, this is not a disused railway line but a fully operating train service, that passes 6 times a day. One minute the tracks are covered with endless stalls, and the next, as the train approaches with honking horn, the merchants nonchalantly dismantle their stalls, drag away their baskets, lower the umbrellas and overhanging canopies as the train progresses within inches of them. All very magical.
