just out of curiosity why didn't you take your top level on the retaining wall from the previous retaining wall on the left - the 1-inch change in height looks weird.

I find your videos to be a real tonic due to your attitude, you're definitely the 'cheerful chippy'. Great video mate!

Is this landscaping for 6 year olds ? Or blue peter ?

I’m a woman on my own and lifted 2 ton into my garden by myself. My back has been damaged ever since..never again 😂 nice job done here x

Looks great, my only concern is slight change in levels from paving across retaining  sleepers creates a trip hazard ...with varied levels.

That looks like a nice corner now Mark   🛠👍😊

no weed protection down

Mark, you have a new intro vignette! It is very nice and professional. Good job, it is great to have a younger man helping.

Quality intro.

Fantastic job as always mate 🙌 one look at this video should be encouraging other customers to give you work😉👍hope the back support is doing the trick 👍

I would not have to talk much for anyone to realise I am clueless. I have a question, what is better for cutting sleepers, a circular saw by going round each side or one of these crocodile? Alligator I think they are called saws used in this video at the start?  I have the crocodile thing but not a circular, just wondered what is better and what is easiest as I have around 50 sleepers and want to make raised beds with them.

My only comment is that you really should use a tanking membrane behind the sleepers rather than let the soil touch them. They will be fine for a couple of years but they will start to rot on the back from never drying out and you can get mould growth on the fronts. As you have laid the sleepers down you will get a bit more longevity out of them. The membrane is dimpled so that earth is held 3 to 5 mm from the sleepers and water can drain down the back so they dry.

Great job again Mark AND Thomas 😂.  Love the music as always Mark, but the levels need lowering to balance with your vocal 👍.

Mark
Great vid but what is shingle?? Ground up what?
❤😊

question, why did you lay the base sleeper in concrete? Wouldnt that accelerate the rotting in the base sleeper. I have a job coming up where i was thinking of using chippings/shingle to sit the base sleeper on to enable drainage prolonging the life of the sleeper. Please advise which would be the best method

Thanks for the video - very helpful. Did you fix the base sleeper for the wall to the concrete? If not is the concrete bed enough to stop the wall from being forced over?
