Hi folks. I have purchased some 2.5m sleepers to use in my garden.
The first thing I want to do is build a small retaining wall.. only about 2ft high off the patio area. There was a small brick wall there previously which I have knocked away.
My first question is. Should I lay the sleepers directly onto the soil level *after* the patio slabs, or is it better to lay them onto the end of the slabs themselves? Secondly. Do I want to use something to fix the first level down?
The second thing I want to do is lay a border round the full garden which will contain the lawn when I get it.
How do I fix the sleepers into the soil round the border just compress the muck down and put in place or is there any sort of other fixtures needing done?
Any help greatly apreciated. Thanks
Chris
