If your borders are tired, uneven or hard to maintain, a raised bed gives structure and instant impact. We build bespoke beds across SM5, including Carshalton Beeches and around Carshalton Ponds, to suit flowers, shrubs or a productive vegetable garden. Each bed is set out carefully so it looks right from the house and paths. You get crisp edges, improved soil depth and a garden that’s easier to manage.
Carshalton’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period properties often comes with narrow side access and established planting. We design raised beds that respect existing features while adding practical growing space. For front gardens, we keep lines clean and materials sympathetic to brickwork and paving. For rear gardens, we can create long runs for flower beds or compact plots for veg without taking over the lawn.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss planting goals and confirm materials, heights and drainage. Then we prepare a stable base, build the bed square and level, and backfill with quality topsoil/compost to match what you want to grow. Work is kept tidy, waste is removed, and we communicate clearly throughout. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, neat finishes and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Gardens in the London Borough of Sutton often have clay-heavy ground, so we plan drainage and soil structure to avoid waterlogging. Around The Grove and older streets, access can be tight and parking limited, so we schedule deliveries and cut materials on-site where needed. We also match bed styles to local property character, from period brickwork to modern paving. If you’re near Oaks Park, we can design beds that cope well with shade and leaf fall.

Costs vary by size, height and material. As a guide, simple sleeper beds often start around £200–£800 per bed, while larger or more detailed builds (brick, stone or multiple connected beds) typically fall in the £400–£1,500 range. Pricing is influenced by ground preparation, drainage, access for materials, and whether you’d like soil and compost supplied and installed.
Most raised beds are completed in 1–2 days, including setting out, base preparation and construction. A single sleeper bed can often be done in a day, while brick or stone beds, stepped designs, or several beds in one area may take longer. Timescales also depend on access in Carshalton gardens, removal of old edging, and whether we’re importing soil and compost for planting.
In most cases, raised beds in rear gardens are permitted and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if the work forms a retaining structure, significantly alters levels, affects drainage, or sits close to boundaries—especially in front gardens. We’ll talk through your layout and check practical considerations for the London Borough of Sutton, including any restrictions tied to listed buildings or conservation areas.

We’ll also advise on simple maintenance to keep your beds looking their best.
