Timber sleeper retaining walls: planning an installed timber wall
Timber sleeper walls are a material option to discuss within a complete site assessment. An enquiry should show the wall location, nearby planting and structures, and the use of the space it supports. Ask the contractor to explain the proposed materials and installation scope for that setting. Compare the whole package, including access, ground preparation, drainage and any removal work, instead of assuming that similarly sized timber walls involve the same project.
