Benefits of Sleeper Walls

There are some key principal benefits of sleeper retaining walls. Let's take a closer look at the reasons why you should go with a sleeper retaining wall.

Simple Installation

The biggest benefit of a sleeper wall is how simple they are to install. A sleeper retaining wall is pretty simple to erect, so building it is not as time consuming as a full retaining wall. Which also means that it is a more affordable option. Depending on the material, the installation of a sleeper retaining wall is simple and easy. Concrete blocks are very easy to install, as opposed to timber wood sleeper walls. We can consult with you on the best course of action.

Make Choices and Easy Customization

The next biggest benefit of a sleeper retaining wall is the fact that more choices are possible. We can help you design a sleeper wall and provide you with more choices, such as a variety of themes and textures. Our staff can work with you to design and build a sleeper retaining wall that matches the aesthetics of your yard. And to further improve the aesthetic appeal, concrete sleepers can be painted in a variety of colors, which can add to the beauty of the landscaping.

The overall construction of a sleeper wall makes them easy to customize, which adds to their overall benefit. They provide a variety of construction opportunities, as the concrete can be molded per the requirements of the yard and thus transformed into the different shapes.

Strong & Durable

Sleeper retaining walls are also strong and durable, depending on the material. So if you go with a concrete wall, then you do not have to worry about it for years due to their strength and rigidity. The strength of a concrete wall is one of the more common reasons they are used in the installation of a retaining wall. There is also a resiliency against the weather when you opt for concrete sleeper retaining walls.

Low Maintenance

They are also low maintenance, so once we install them you can essentially not worry about them falling apart for years. Again, depending on the material.

Level a Yard & Retain Soil

Use sleeper retaining walls for levelling and retaining soil. This is honestly the number one function of a retaining wall. Get effective landscaping with the installation of a sleeper retaining wall. They can also be used for other applications, such as creating a protective barrier on the property line or by preventing soil displacement by streams.

Affordability

Concrete is an affordable material to use, whereas wood, since it is a natural resource, is a little more expensive. We can help you select the right material for your yard and budget.

Cons

Of course, as with anything, there are a few downsides to a sleeper retaining wall. If wood is the material of choice, it may decay or deform over the years and need to be rebuilt sooner than a concrete wall. And sometimes the materials for sleeper walls are more expensive, because they are the less common type of retaining wall chosen. Lastly, it can be a time-consuming process depending on the length of the area and the area of the installation. However, the team at Long Island Elite Landscaping can help you go about the design and installation of a sleeper retaining wall in the best way possible.
