Looking for someone to pick up, transport, and install replacement railroad ties along the length of my driveway, front walkway, and garden beds. The old ones are in the beginning-to-rot stage, so it's really time to get to this project. I would love to replace them with something that's more attractive, but they seem like the best inexpensive choice (belgium blocks would be very pricey for so many feet). Ideas for alternatives or even just installers welcomed. My landscaper is not that careful in his work, so I don't entirely trust him for this job...how 'bout yours (if he/she is reasonably priced) or someone else you can recommend?

Thanks!

Two possible alternatives are using brick or concrete pavers cast to mimic Belgian Block. Both would be considerably cheaper than granite and would be an upgrade from railroad ties.
