Really really please I found this. Great work and my house slope is identical so nothing to stop me now :) except money but easier to save now I’ve seen a great example - thanks!
Gem Layland Thanks 🙂 I also struggled to find a video where the garden was sloped downwards like mine. That’s why I put this video together. The kids love it. Hope you get some inspiration and get yours done! Good luck
Amazing job there fella, gave me some ideas for mine. Not as sloped as yours but I need to level it, only problem is I cant get a digger round the back. So going to be alot of hand digging.
Thanks 👍🏼 my alley way is only 1m wide. I got a mini digger that is about 90cm wide through there no problems. Otherwise good luck with the hand digging 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
WOW! Really WOW! That is absolutely beautiful, you did an amazing job.....perfection. now you have done a dummy run in your garden its time to come and do mine lol. Well done.
Levent Dogan Yes the blue plastic sheeting is to seal any water or mud in the flower boxes and also so no mud/sand/water comes through the sleepers to the front. In addition to this is also put some drainage (French drainage) in the flower box and the inside of the garden flat surface and the back wall.
Looks amazing. However I would be reluctant to pay that much for sleepers plus all the work and have to replace it in 15 years when it's rotting. How about using H4 treated sleepers instead? Sorry to be negative, looking at doing something similar, but not if it will only last 10 years
Hey pal. I didn’t use any skips and got rid of zero soil. The soil from the top half got shifted to the bottom half (within the walls I built) in order to level it out. If anything, I had to bring in a few tons of topsoil for the top layer before the grass went on.
OMG! Love it! Just have one question about the fence: are we allowed to build a new fence side by side the neighbours fence? because mine will be higher than their's because I have slope back yard and want to level it.
Hi Reeza, its a great job, well done! Which screws did you use to attach sleepers togethers, i hv seen a couple of wood dowels, can you please confirm, ta v much
Thanks Levent Dogan. I really enjoyed this project. For the screws, I used TimberLok screws. A mixture of 15cm and 25cm ones. The 25cm screws could go through 3 sleepers.
Gilles Sellier Hi. You may not have seen it in the video. My side alley is exactly 1m wide. The “Mini Digger” I hired was 90m wide. So just managed to fit luckily 😳
Yes true. Both sides / alleys are tight and only 1m space in width. I was able to get a “mini digger” that can reduce its wheels size to 90cm wide. So no problems (just about) getting it down my alley and to the back. If that didn’t work I was going to use a helicopter to get it in/out 😉
Dave Lee Thanks Dave. A year on and the wood is still looking great. They were pressure treated and came with a 10 year guarantee. I thought I would wait a few years until they start looking worn then will look to stain or oil it. 👍🏼👌👍🏼👌👍🏼👌
Such a lovely landscaping DIY project. Kudos!!! I was looking for something similar for my new build which is yet to complete. Can you please give me an idea what the slope was like originally when measured from your patio door step to the end of garden? I am trying to visualise, since I have a rear garden (10 m deep) with retention wall in the back and the plan shows a sloping gradient of 1:10 and retaining wall at the back with spec RT 0.225m. Do you need any planning permission to level this off yourself or anything to sort out like this, when you put extra fencing, decking and supporting woodwork on the edges of our garden which has partition with neighbours?
Hi, great looking garden - i want to do something similar to mine. Could you let me know a couple of things... 1) how did you join together the timber sleepers? 2) what company did you get your supplies from? 3) how much did it cost roughly? 4) at 1:19 it looks like you used a deadman, is that right? 5) what kind of space did you leave up to the fence on the sides? Thanks in advance!
TheEamz hi. To answer some of your questions. 1. I used TimberLok screws specially made for sleepers / timber etc. 2. Got my supplies from various building supply companies locally. But the main item the 70 x Railway sleepers I got from a company called avsfencing.co.uk (sleepers were pressure treated and came with a 10 year warranty against rot etc) 3. All in all it costed me about £5500. 4. Yes I used dead men on both sides on the stair case. 5. I left about 20cm space between fence and side wall / sleepers. Then I filled t with bark. Some additional things to mention. Drainage is very important. Along the back and sides of the walls. I put French drainage. Also waterproofed under the stairs and the inside of the planters etc.
Cunning Linguist I didn’t put this video together to show people how to do it. This was not my intention and I am not a landscapers or anything. I just put this up to show my project and what I have achieved and hopefully people will take some good ideas from it. I did a lot of research prior to doing this and seeked a lot of advise from professionals. At the end I decided to do it myself and at half the cost of the next professional quote.
Great to read this answer. I was wondering whether you'd paid attention to drainage and rot! Well done. When you come to sell, you will only need one photo of the house, from the rear, and they'll be flocking.
Yes they are 200x100 sleepers. But each stair is 2 sleepers deep. So 200x200. I would probably have preferred to do 300x200 deep 👌 good luck with your project 👍🏼
Yes that’s it 👍🏼. However as I said, if I could change anything. I would make the steps 300x200 as I feel that currently it’s a bit short for an adult size foot. Cheers.
Layth .I. Butt Hi. Thanks for the comments. Really pleased with how it turned out. I did most of the non intensive work myself (and project managed it all) i hired different labourers to do different things. For example: I hired a bricklayer to build the wall at the back and add the drainage. I then hired a mini digger and driver to move the soil and level it out etc. Then a friend who is a carpenter completed the all the wood work (wall, stairs, planters, benches) with the sleepers etc. I then hired an electrician to put the lights in. I then completed the rest myself (top soil, grass, fencing, planting etc) Hope you get some inspiration to do a similar project.
Although I put drainage on the inside of the walls. That blue sheet was extra precaution to ensure the wooden sleepers do not rot if water does not drain from the planters etc.
A_A I added the French drain so that any water does not soak into the main grass area. The drain leads out to the back area of the garden under the trees. I left a gap when building the back wall and fed the pipe through it
Various ways. Not only did I put concrete at the base along with good drainage to secure the bottom row of sleepers but I also put in a few deadman in (lookup deadman in construction on google)
b21playa helicopter 🚁 would have been my last resort... Luckily I managed to get a “mini digger” & driver hire. The mini digger can go as narrow as 90cm for exactly this reason. My alley way was 100cm. Phew 😅 The guy took 3 hours to completely move and level the soil. 👌👌
Agustín Crispino thanks. it took 1 day to move the soil and level it with the mini digger. Then later on I used a wacker plate to flatten the ground. 👍🏼
I think (s)he is referring to the fact that the 'retaining' wall isn't structurally designed as a retaining wall, insofar as it doesn't have a footing running back under the ground it is retaining, or reinforced steel providing resistance to tensile forces from the weight of the soil behind. Probably not too big of a deal when building such a low wall, but I would still expect that wall to fail from frost/water damage much quicker than a true retaining wall would. Doubly so given it didn't look like you filled the ground immediately behind with loose stone to reduce the weight pushing against it.
aka ProBruh hahaaaa.. if you buying the railway sleepers in bulk then I wouldn’t buy from B&Q. There are fencing and other building companies that sell them (the chunks of wood) much cheaper. I paid just over £1100 for 70 sleepers.
That block retaining wall better be damn sturdy. Over time your yard collapses. I didn't see any drainage back there but it might be there and you just didn't bother showing us.
Tow Doctor : yes I did put drainage running along the back on the inside of the wall, before the digger moved the soil. Then going out some holes we left for the pipe. You will see in the video, from 32 seconds in at the back left corner the black flexi drain pipe.
I'm just wondering how you done your retaining wall, cuz I know anytime you have a structure like a garage or your house you have to get engineer to approve one that close. You didn't do your retaining wall right give it four years you won't have a patio either. Just on a normal wall one without a structure you have to set Deadman 4 feet back. Did you tunnel under your patio to do that? one supporting a house and a patio probably need more than 4 foot dead man. Don't see one dead man on the side walls let's just hope there for show or give it 2 years.
He used dead men either side of the stairs. It will only need to support the patio and ground under it. As the house supports itself with the foundations it was built on.
It looks impressive, but I think those wooden steps etc will rot fairly quickly (wet soil and also termites). Why not using bricks which can look just as attractive as wood?
hawkeye0248 thanks, I thought of that and I think it will last... So behind the wooden sleepers I put a perforated flexi drain pipe that runs along the back, under the stairs and down the outside of the wall to let any heavy rain water out. + you will see I also used waterproof (blue) sheeting behind the wooden walls and under the stairs to stop any soil and water directly against the wood. + The wooden sleepers are also ‘treated’ and come with a 10 year guarantee. So I hope it will last that long at least. 😊
Cunning Linguist thats a shame about the thumbs down! I don’t do this for a living... This was just a project I undertook in my garden. Was not even going to post it on here but thought others would appreciate. Sorry for the lack of instructions...

2020 lockdown& I'm sitting here tapping my feet to that tune.
Me too x
FINALLY! a video detailing EXACTLY what I need. so many videos made it seem impossible. I will save this video for sure. very nice work.
Wow this is stunning! I love the design! I wish u had a diy tutorial on the retaining wall!! It’s fabulous!
Sigh! 4th night in a row can’t sleep. That song in my head keeping me awake. What a nightmare.

Looks like a really late to the show here but, you've done a great job there! Looks brilliant. I hope you have many years of chilling out in the sun
Great job

Beautiful!!! How much did it cost
That looks really pretty.
I like the mini excavator
Hi, thank you for this great idea. May I know how much roughly will cost me to do these. Our garden is pretty much the same as this one.
very nice job
Thank Will :)
From a carpenter to a non pro, well done mate! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Big Guns Thanks pal!!!
It was actually my carpenter mate that helped me with the sleepers 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice. How much did it cost.? Thanks
Wonderful job, what you can do with money xx
Wow I'm so jealous
Very impressive
Does the rain water still drain?
Wow.... Brilliant
เปี๊ยก แม่แตง thanks ☺️ it was a great transformation. So happy with the result.
What about the rear retaining wall? Are you going to put a fence on top or do people just fall off?
Mate, how did you get that earth digger in the back yard?
How much did it cost? Can you break it down, please?
Good work.
I also have a slopping garden and yours looks great well done.
Great job, what sort of foundation did you use for the base of the sleepers?
How did you build the bench? Do you have any drawings?
Great vid loved the music too happy feeling just what we need right now ☺ ♥
How did excuvator into your garden?
Its a mini digger. 90cm wide and drove it down the side alley way.
nice!, but wont the palm trees eventually grow out the sides ?

I am in West London, Greenford, UB6 postcode.
Assuming you’ve used a mitre saw for that timber, I’ve found cutting them to be a nightmare
Yes.
Mitre saw. The blade needs to cut more than 100mm deep. As the sleepers are 200x100
@@reeza0 did you go for green oak or pressure treated timber sleepers? Thanks.
Surely building regs dont allow that drop off at the end of the garden incase of kids? Looks like a pretty high drop off beyond the grass 🤷🏼♂️
What is the blue sheet behind the sleeper wall?
Although I put drainage on the inside of the walls. That blue sheet was extra precaution to ensure the wooden sleepers do not rot if water does not drain from the planters etc.
reeza0 do you know what it is called, the blue sheet?
Hi, did you connect the french drains to a main sewer or let it soak into the ground?
A_A I added the French drain so that any water does not soak into the main grass area. The drain leads out to the back area of the garden under the trees.

How did you secure the sleepers to the ground?
Various ways. Not only did I put concrete at the base along with good drainage to secure the bottom row of sleepers but I also put in a few deadman in (lookup deadman in construction on google)
How it cost you the woods ????
The sleepers (wood) cost about £1000 for about 75 pieces.
@@reeza0 WUAU !! Expensive
@@DAVID-et1lj Actually that is a really good price for 75 softwood sleepers. They are usually around £17 to £20 each.

The mini digger can go as narrow as 90cm for exactly this reason. My alley way was 100cm. Phew 😅

Calvin Williamson Helicopter of course 🚁🚁🚁🚁
Calvin Williamson the side alley of my house is 1m wide. The mini digger was 95cm wide. So just made it through! Thankfully. 😅
reeza0 🤣🤣🤣🤣
reeza0 ahhh good deal then
Would it be possible without a digger in a garden half the size? Asking for a middle terrace owner! :D
Nice work! How long took moving and levelling the soil with that mini backhoe?
Agustín Crispino thanks. it took 1 day to move the soil and level it with the mini digger. Then later on I used a wacker plate to flatten the ground. 👍🏼
Very nice! Thanks!
With the sleepers costing £20.00 EACH, that garden has cost a TON.
20 was cheap then. Now 2021 it's 25 plus for decent ones

Nice job but u didn't make a retaining wall, just a regular wall...
Shazzkid Thanks for your comment. The retaining wall is along the back of the garden. You will see it being built at the beginning of the video
I think (s)he is referring to the fact that the 'retaining' wall isn't structurally designed as a retaining wall, insofar as it doesn't have a footing running back under the ground it is retaining, or reinforced steel providing resistance to tensile forces from the weight of the soil behind.

Doubly so given it didn't look like you filled the ground immediately behind with loose stone to reduce the weight pushing against it.
Unless there's some sort of support on the side of the wall we don't see that wall will begin to shift and need to be redone before it begins to cave.
Ten grand later...
I went to B&Q to find out how much is one similar chunk of wood, figured out and my dream was over.
aka ProBruh hahaaaa.. if you buying the railway sleepers in bulk then I wouldn’t buy from B&Q. There are fencing and other building companies that sell them (the chunks of wood) much cheaper. I paid just over £1100 for 70 sleepers.
How the hell u get the digger in the garden no side access , and man I don’t miss England poxy size houses and gardens , but love ya work 👍👍
That block retaining wall better be damn sturdy. Over time your yard collapses. I didn't see any drainage back there but it might be there and you just didn't bother showing us.

reeza0 oh yeah I see it now. The yard looks great. Don't mind me. I get sassy when I'm hungry. Good job sir.
Would have been alot cheaper taking it down too its original level where the conifer are
£20 for a sleeper, no change of that now. It's at least £30 plus.
you`re looking at £30 for pressure treated softwood or £40 for green oak in East Anglia right now (for good quality sleepers).
Terrible music, but nicely done
I'm just wondering how you done your retaining wall, cuz I know anytime you have a structure like a garage or your house you have to get engineer to approve one that close.

Siobhan Macinnes Thanks 😁😁 I’m very pleased. No I don’t have dogs, but I do have kids who love playing football ⚽️ 😫
Bad idea. The wood will rot and need done again in a few years time. Stone is best.
