Streatham SW16 · Flower beds & raised beds
Structure and colour for Streatham gardens.
As local landscapers covering Streatham, we have built long brick flower beds, raised sleeper beds and beds either side of new lawns in Streatham and Streatham Hill. The featured garden below has a flower bed on each side of the grass.

Your garden, considered
In a long Streatham garden, beds along the sides do two jobs: they soften the fences and they lead the eye down the plot. On Mark's garden in Streatham Hill we laid an Indian sandstone path to the shed with a flower bed on each side of the new grass.
Brick gives a more permanent edge. In Gemma's Streatham back garden we built two brick flower beds 7m long and 80cm wide along the new closeboard fence, beside a Marshalls block paving patio.
With most gardens here on clay, we prepare the ground under each bed and fill it with fresh topsoil, so plants are not sitting in wet, heavy soil through the winter.
Real jobs · real prices
Three more documented gardens where flower beds were built as part of the job, with the distances shown.
A 400mm dig-out and new block paving driveway with eco drains to a soakaway at the front, and closeboard fencing, a gate, two 7m brick flower beds and a Marshalls block paving patio at the back, in two weeks for £20,000 including VAT.
A full back garden transformation: new paving, new turf, brick walls, granite edging, raised sleeper beds, French drains and a new manhole cover, in 2 weeks for £15,760 including VAT.
A garden stripped back and rebuilt in two weeks: a rendered retaining wall, around 20m² of curved beige porcelain, a 4m x 4m composite deck, steps, new turf and circular flower beds.

Materials & possibilities
Both suit Streatham gardens. The choice comes down to the look you want and the rest of the materials in the garden.
A bed simply filled on top of compacted clay can hold water like a tray. We break up the ground underneath, fill with fresh topsoil and finish the edge cleanly, so the bed drains and stays neat against the lawn or paving.
From first ideas to finishing touches
We look at light, fences, levels and access.
Brick or sleeper, sizes and topsoil itemised.
Ground prepared, edges built, topsoil in.
Edges cleaned and waste taken away.

Streatham · SW16
We build beds across Streatham, Streatham Hill, Streatham Park and Telford Park, and down into Streatham Vale and Furzedown. Three of our documented gardens with new beds are in Streatham and Streatham Hill.
Our yard is just down the road in Norbury, so materials and topsoil deliveries are simple to arrange.
