how to lay sleepers for garden edging
Laying railway sleepers for garden edging is a simple way to create clean, durable borders around lawns, paths, and raised beds.
1. Plan and mark out your edging line using string or spray paint.
2. Dig a shallow trench around 50–75mm deep to help keep the sleepers level and secure.
3. Add a compacted base of sand or gravel for drainage and stability.
4. Position the timber sleepers, checking they are straight and level as you go.
5. Fix in place using timber stakes or metal pins driven into the ground behind the sleeper.
6. Backfill and compact soil along the edge for a neat, long-lasting finish.
This method works well for front garden ideas, small garden ideas, and both straight or curved edging designs.
