concrete sleepers
why are they so great for retaining walls?
When it comes to building your retaining wall, you have several choices for materials:
There’s the ever-popular sandstone blocks. And while it looks spectacular, it’s an expensive choice.
Besser blocks are another frequently used material. Yet, this proves to be an inferior product over time as they leach calcium and create an unsightly appearance.
And timber sleepers, which create a classic look at an affordable price, don’t have the ideal longevity you need for your retaining wall. Lasting about 10 years, timber sleepers will end up rotting, warping, or decaying.
