Stained Sleeper Raised Garden & Instant Turf
A dark-stained sleeper retaining wall carving a level lawn out of a corner block, finished with pebble borders and flowering colour.
The brief
A sloping corner frontage that needed to be levelled and framed so the new lawn would hold its shape — and look sharp from both streets.
What we did
- Stained timber sleeper retaining wall with galvanised posts
- Soil supply and levelling behind the wall
- Instant turf supply and laying
- Pebble border and seasonal flower planting
How we approached it
The retaining wall was built to follow the corner block's two street frontages, stained dark to match the home's palette, then backfilled and levelled for turf. A pebble strip along the wall top keeps the lawn edge crisp and the flowers visible from the street.
The result
A level, defined front lawn with real street presence from every angle — and a wall built to keep it that way.
