What a dramatic pond Dean has created in a beautiful garden setting. In truth it's almost like a small swimming pool! The striking design is really imaginative with the two different areas divided by a peninsular that acts as an island surrounding the tree. It's also great to see the construction pictures as he pieces together the new pine railway sleepers. An excellent project.

A big thank you for sending us a fine collection of photos showing your landscaping project from start to finish. What a huge undertaking and what a transformation - your newly designed garden looks wonderful. The old weathered tropical hardwood railway sleepers have a warm and established look to them, that feels soft and relaxing. No wonder your four footed friends are happy.

I love the solidness & simplicity of the wooden deck and 'stepping stones' you have created with your tropical hardwood railway sleepers. The rich contrast between the lighter colours of the gravel & stylish rattan furniture, and the gorgeous weathered reddy brown of the reclaimed railway sleepers is really effective. An eye catching design.

What a wonderful wooden building to retreat into! The oak railway sleepers create a perfect low level wall and edging that will season to a lovely silver grey in the next few years. All in all an idyllic garden hideaway, nestling in a beautiful setting.

Thanks to Martin for showing us what he has created with his new oak railway sleepers. Constructing planting beds on two seperate levels is a really attractive and eye catching way of presenting the plants in both his garden, and also the road side front of his property. A lovely project, and clearly appreciated by his neighbours!

Luna was always destined for great things, but even her closest friends could scarecely believe it when she reached the prestigious heights of official Railway Sleeper inspector at the age of TWO! It was an arduous studying process moving from stick control, bone examination, snowball exploration, and finally graduating in the scrutiny and assessment of heavy duty railway sleepers in May 2022. Having sponsored Luna for several years, Railwaysleepers.com were thrilled to announce that Luna, following her graduation, had joined the staff of RailwaySleepers.com as an official inspector of new and used railway sleepers. Despite her age she showed remarkable experience and skill in quality assessment. https://www.railwaysleepers.com/projects/unusual-usages-of-railway-sleepers/world-first-luna-becomes-the-youngest-ever-inspector-of-railway-sleepers

Thanks to Aaron for the photos of the oak railway sleeper landscaping by Worthington Landscape and Design, and Z.Garden & Landscapes. Great to pictures of the patio being constructed from the beginning - from the initial collecting of the oak railway sleepers (looks a little precarious), all the digging out & clearing of the area, levelling the hardcore, cutting the oak railway sleepers to size, tiling the patio, jet washing everything and then the finished project in all its glory. Another job well done.

A well constructed landscaping project. There's something very straightforward and clean-lined about using new railway sleepers in your garden. They are so easy for framing lawns and patios, and building simple raised beds and steps, and manage to look exceptionally smart and yet natural at the same time. On a completely different note, I notice that you have used artificial grass. I think I used to have an automatic old fogey dislike to plastic grass, in the same way as I impulsively did to PVC windows, electric bikes, brick-effect render and plastic gnomes. But I'm softening in my old age. I can see that that it looks really good all year round, is of low maintenance, probably from re-cycled plastic and deters moles. But there again, I wouldn't be able to play with my mower..... yet on the other hand I'd create no petrol fumes.... Aghhh.... Endless impossible decisions.

Great to see the development of James's impressive workshop table for his wife, from the initial cutting and attaching of the different pieces of railway sleeper, to finally seeing the bench in use. A solid and sturdy base to fashion some beautiful jewellery. Whether she creates a spectacular gold leaf Faberge egg encrusted with priceless diamonds and dripping with rubies, or some simple silver earings, your heavy duty jewellery bench will be an inspiration for decades.
