Working with landscaping timbers

When working with ties, pre-drill the spikes so as not to split them as they dry out and season. The green lumber is usually real 'wet' and this helps a lot with alignment as well. Also, don't go any closer to the end of a tie than 6 inches - it'll definitely split. Paul York
