RailwaySleepers.com Says..

RailwaySleepers.com supplies new and used hardwood & softwood railway sleepers throughout the UK. Railwaysleepers.com
An excellent example of using railway sleepers on a larger scale, to create terraces and usable garden space out of a seemingly impossible slope. Clearly, machines capable of earthmoving and digging trenches are essential, together with a clear sense of both design and construction. However the ideas used in this great project can also be used in a smaller scale to great effect.

The photos show the project almost finished, with piles of earth, bags and supporting battons still attached. The completed gardens will clearly look wonderful.
