Hardwood railway sleepers are an excellent investment – they’re robust, durable, and extremely versatile. Being hardwood these sleepers have the inherent properties of durability and offer a maintenance-free alternative to our softwood treated ones.
Due to the innate qualities of the material, you can buy hardwood sleepers new or used, depending on the finish you want, what you would like to do with them, and of course your budget.
New hardwood sleepers are perfect for any application – you can use them for garden paths, retaining walls, planters, or even furniture (for both inside and outside the home). The straight edges mean that you have clean lines for your design, and while our sleepers are treated you can coat them with your own choice of colour or stain to get exactly the finish you want.
Used sleepers are best for outdoor projects where they will not come into a lot of physical contact with hands or clothing, such as pavers. These sleepers have a more robust treatment that can stain, but have a beautiful rustic look.
The hardwoods used for all Lawson’s railway sleepers are responsibly sourced from across Europe. So you can have complete peace of mind that your purchase is not harming the environment or natural habitats.
