Garden Walls & Steps in Barnard Castle
Sleeper retaining walls in Barnard Castle are a cost-effective option for low-to-medium retention with a contemporary look. We use new oak or treated softwood sleepers, properly braced and drained, with a finish that ages beautifully against planting.
Why Choose Us for Garden Walls & Steps in Barnard Castle
Proper Footings Every Time
Every wall gets a concrete footing sized to its height and your ground. Skipping this is why so many garden walls fail within years.
Drainage Behind Retaining Walls
Water trapped behind a retaining wall is what pushes it outward. We always install a granular drainage layer and weep holes or pipe.
Walls and Steps That Tie In
We design walls, steps and patios to work together — same stone, same coping detail, same finish — for a properly considered garden.
Safe, Comfortable Steps
Consistent rise, deep tread, slip-resistant finish. Properly built steps are safer and more pleasant to use, every time.
