In a perfect world you'd create wonderful railway sleeper creations with no cutting, but unfortunately all gardens differ in size. Fear not, railway sleepers are ultimately big blocks of timber that simply require the right tool for the job!

I am always amazed by the transformation between the 'bare boned' railway sleeper planter, when it's just been constructed and newly planted, and the same raised bed months later when it's a riot of flowers, with joyous colours and scents, and bees and butterflies!

It's great to see a varied collection of attractive creations using new pine railway sleepers. They all share a fresh and clean lined look, that is equally simple and attractive.

Most landscapers simply stack railway sleepers on top of each other and then screw them together with Timberlok railway sleeper screws. Job done! So, it is refreshing to see someone taking the more skillful and arduous option of actually jointing them by hand. Impressive, time consuming, but attractive.

Brilliant to see the landscaping almost finished. An immensley impressive and spectacular project undertaken in arduous conditions. No machinery for digging or carrying the railway sleepers & steel H beams into the garden. Amazing!

I know it seems harsh, but our woodyard is not an adventure playground, and health and safety are not so keen on children abseiling off our stacks of railway sleepers! Mind you it was definitely a different picture 80 years ago!
