Retaining walls are required and built for a purpose. They are used to retain soil, spoil or to split slopes into levels. Retaining walls have to be built to a very specific and strict standard to stand the test of time. However retaining walls don’t have to be simply plain old boring concrete bricks and mortar.

Wooden sleeper retaining walls are becoming even more popular especially in gardens were they seek to keep that soft natural look. However that’s not to say they are any better than concrete or clay walls, they each have equal standing and importance. This can be easily incorporated into any garden or driveway to make use of and maximise space.
