Norbury SW16 · Flower beds & raised beds
Beds that drain, so plants thrive.
As local landscapers based in Norbury, we build flower beds as part of a garden: raised sleeper beds along a lawn, curved beds beside a patio and circular beds set into the grass, all filled with fresh topsoil. The nearest jobs with beds in them are below.

Your garden, considered
Most gardens here are on clay, and clay stays wet and heavy through the winter, which many plants dislike. A raised bed filled with fresh topsoil lifts the roots above the worst of it and gives you a clean edge to mow against.
Beds work best when they are planned with the rest of the garden. Trevor's garden in South Norwood was rebuilt with flower beds along the sides of a curved porcelain patio and circular beds in the new lawn below it.
Sleepers are a quick and natural way to build them. Robert's lawn in Elmers End was replaced with astro grass and a sleeper-edged bed on both sides, in three days.

Materials & possibilities
The right bed depends on the garden around it. These are the styles from our documented jobs.
We do not just fill a frame with soil and walk away. The ground underneath is loosened so water can escape, the bed is filled with fresh topsoil rather than the clay that came out, and the edge is set so mowing and sweeping are easy.
From first ideas to finishing touches
We check sun, shade, levels and where the beds will sit.
Edging material, size and topsoil itemised.
Ground prepared, edges set, beds filled with fresh topsoil.
Clean edges ready for your planting.
Documented project · South Norwood SE25 · 1.5 miles from Norbury

A few useful answers

Read our warranty termsYes, as part of garden jobs across Norbury and SW16. Our nearest documented beds are in South Norwood, Streatham Hill and Streatham.
Most gardens here are on clay, which stays wet in winter. Raising the bed and filling it with fresh topsoil keeps plant roots above the heaviest, wettest ground.
On our documented jobs, timber sleepers and brick, and on Trevor's South Norwood garden the beds sit alongside a rendered retaining wall.
Yes. Trevor's new lawn in South Norwood has circular flower beds cut into it below the curved porcelain patio.
Robert's astro grass with a sleeper bed on each side, in Elmers End, was £3,820 including VAT and took three days.
Yes. Beds are filled with fresh topsoil, and the clay we dig out is removed with the rest of the waste.
That is the best time. Mark's Streatham Hill garden got a sandstone patio and path with flower beds on both sides of the new grass, all in five days.
