Used Rail Road Ties

Used Railroad Ties are durable, reclaimed wood beams that have been previously used in rail track systems. They are highly sought after for landscaping and outdoor construction projects due to their strength, rugged appearance, and natural weather resistance.

Key Features:

  • Rugged Durability: Originally designed to support rail systems, these ties are extremely tough and long-lasting.
  • Rustic Aesthetic: Their weathered look adds a rustic, vintage charm to outdoor projects.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for retaining walls, garden beds, outdoor steps, and rustic fencing.
  • Heavy-Duty Strength: Can withstand extreme weather conditions, pressure, and weight, making them perfect for large landscaping projects.
  • Reclaimed Material: Eco-friendly, repurposed wood that reduces waste and provides a sustainable option for landscaping.

Grade 1 (Premium):

  • Condition: Best quality, minimal wear, and damage. May have some cracks or splits but structurally sound and free of major defects.
  • Appearance: Cleaner, more consistent in appearance with less weathering and surface imperfections.
  • Uses: Ideal for landscaping, retaining walls, garden borders, and decorative projects where aesthetics matter.

Grade 2 (Standard):

  • Condition: Moderate wear and weathering, with larger cracks and more visible surface imperfections. Structurally sound but may have more noticeable creosote exposure.
  • Appearance: More weathered and rustic, with larger splits and some warping.
  • Uses: Commonly used for retaining walls, garden beds, fencing, and outdoor steps where appearance is less important but strength is still needed.

Landscape Grade (Economy):

  • Condition: Very rough, often showing extensive wear, rot, or damage. May be partially decomposed but still usable in non-structural, aesthetic applications.
