My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    The sleepers are set in a concrete footing. If they are to be used as a retaining wall and backfilled you can also run a rail or steel support beam along the back and screw or bolt the sleepers to that to reduce any later movement/warping etc

    what is the wood species you used? and how did you get it to grey so nice?

    The timber is Cupressus macrocarpa - left to weather it goes a very nice silvery grey but must be in a sunny, dry place for this - if too damp it will rot and will collect black mildew etc.
