Why Choose Splitstone Concrete Sleepers?
Natural Stone Appearance
The split face finish mimics natural stone, adding sophistication and visual interest to any outdoor space. It's like having designer stone walls without the designer price tag or the need to remortgage your house.
Engineered for Strength
Steel-reinforced for durability and structural integrity. Perfect for Canberra's challenging terrain and climate that can't decide if it wants to be Iceland or the Sahara. These sleepers handle pressure better than you handle Monday mornings.
Low Maintenance
Unlike timber, these concrete sleepers won't rot, warp, or attract pests, making them ideal for long-term landscaping. The only visitors they'll attract are compliments from jealous neighbors, not termites planning a feast.
Ideal Uses:
- Retaining walls (that actually retain things, unlike your ability to retain phone numbers since smartphones were invented).
- Raised garden beds and planter boxes (giving your tomatoes the elevated lifestyle they deserve while keeping them away from ground-dwelling critters).
- Sloped terrain solutions (because gravity is relentless and your garden soil has places to be).
- Boundary edging and decorative walls (for when you need to mark your territory with more style than a dog and less aggression than a fence dispute).
- Landscape features that require both function and beauty (like a Swiss Army knife that went to design school).
Our Process
Consultation & Site Evaluation
We assess your property and recommend the best sleeper size, finish, and layout for your specific needs. No crystal ball required, just decades of experience and measuring tools that actually work, unlike that app on your phone you downloaded but never figured out.
Material Selection & Custom Design
Choose from a selection of colours and finishes. Our experts guide you through the options like a patient friend at a restaurant with too many menu pages, minus the judgment when you can't decide between two nearly identical shades of grey.
Professional Installation
Our skilled team ensures precise excavation, footing preparation, and sleeper installation to the highest standards. We measure twice, dig once, and level everything obsessively because wonky retaining walls are nobody's friend, especially not gravity's.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do Splitstone Concrete Sleepers differ from other concrete sleepers?
Splitstone sleepers feature a textured, split face finish that mimics natural stone, offering a more rustic and elegant appearance compared to smooth or patterned sleepers. It's like comparing a hand-crafted artisan burger to a fast-food patty – both do the job, but one definitely has more character.
Are Splitstone Sleepers suitable for all types of retaining walls?
Yes, they're versatile and strong enough for a variety of retaining wall heights and landscaping applications. Whether you're taming a gentle slope or conquering a hillside that thinks it's a mountain, these sleepers are up for the challenge.
How long does installation typically take?
Installation times vary depending on project size but usually range from 1 to 3 days for residential jobs. That's less time than it takes to assemble flat-pack furniture, and our walls actually stay standing when we're done.
Enhance Your Outdoor Space with Durable Elegance
Splitstone Concrete Sleepers deliver the perfect mix of rugged durability and natural beauty, like a lumberjack who also writes poetry. Whether you're building a small garden feature that whispers sophistication or a large retaining wall that shouts "I've got this hillside under control," Sunco Fencing offers expert advice (the helpful kind, not the unsolicited neighbor kind), quality materials that actually look like the photos, and professional installation that ensures your project exceeds expectations instead of becoming a cautionary tale at BBQs.
