Railway sleeper and dry stone retaining walls that hold a slope properly, with steps built into them.

A sloping garden is usable ground waiting for someone to hold it back. Sleeper walls, natural stone and dry stone walling all do that, and which one is right depends on the load behind it and what the rest of the garden looks like.

Drainage behind a retaining wall matters as much as the face of it. Water with nowhere to go is what pushes a wall out. Every wall gets backfilled and drained so it stays where it was built.

Retaining walls, the usual questions

Do you quote for retaining walls for free?

Yes. Free visit, free quote, no obligation either way.

How far do you travel?

Roughly 20 miles from Winscombe, which covers Winscombe, Sandford, Banwell, Churchill, Axbridge and the villages between them, out as far as Clevedon. If you are near the edge of that, ask anyway, it is usually a yes for a job of a decent size.

Is it you doing the work, or a team?

It is Tom Nyamunda. One person on the job from the first visit to the last barrow out, which is slower than a gang but it means the person who quoted it is the person who built it.
