There is something very pleasing about the simplest of designs. Railway sleepers that are laid to create straightforward boxes rather than extravagant intricate shapes. Landscaping that is gentle rather than showy, that soothes rather than shouts at you.

Great to see the raised beds that you have created with your reclaimed railway sleepers. I like the crenulated or staggered top to one of the railway sleeper planters that gives it a unique look that really stands out in your garden. Excellent.

JDM Ponds have created a magnificent oak raised pond from new railway sleepers that gives an almost 'stately home' feel to the water feature. Beautifully made with skill and experience, and matched with an equally impressive oak jetty that overlooks an additional large pond. Spectacular.

Blending beautifully with an old converted Methodist church are dramatic, gorgeously coloured railway sleeper walls that edge the garden, curve around a firepit and retain the raised garden in front of a spectacular garden house. A project that is both eye-catching and unique, and definitely to be admired.

I love the angled drama as the entrance walkway to the golf course is cut through the coastal dunes using old oak railway sleepers. An imposing and confident start to your round of 18 holes which will inevitably go down hill from then on as you lose your opening drive in the sea!

When we recently attended a family wedding, our eyes were naturally drawn to the beautiful bride and groom, so full of excitement and happiness. But soon our attention wandered as we were attracted to the collection of reclaimed railway sleepers beneath our feet, that edged the dining area and dance floor of the Glasshouse. The next morning, after an evening of wonderful celebration, we returned to the quietness of the empty venue and snapped pictures of these reclaimed masterpieces. A wedding made in heaven!

There's something so sturdy and solid about outside tables and benches made from new pine railway sleepers. Strong enough to support a mountain of pizza or even a gang of tap dancing children. Above all, they are simple enough for anyone to construct, with little more needed than screws, drill and a basic saw. Give it a go!

What a magical new pond you've created, with such a valuable set of stage by stage photos to show all the skill and effort you've put in. A really excellent water feature using new railway sleepers, and capped off with a spectacular display of night time lights. Amazing.

It's great that a landscaping crisis was prevented! It's always a relief when a mistake is rectified without too much drama, and Amanda's railway sleeper raised bed project could proceed as planned. Lovely to see it all in place and happily planted up.

A significant and eye-catching public walkway that uses reclaimed tropical hardwood railway sleepers to meander gently across the shingle beach. The design is both dramatic but also one that blends perfectly with the pebbles and sand. A striking project that will be celebrated for decades.
