A well-built raised bed transforms how you use your garden—better drainage, easier planting, and a clean edge that stays put. We design and install beds across SE6, including near Catford Broadway and Mountsfield Park. Whether you want a productive vegetable garden or structured flower beds, we tailor the size and height to how you garden. Every bed is set out carefully so it looks intentional, not like an add-on.
Catford homes often have compact rear gardens and side returns, especially around Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties. That means access, levels and existing paving can vary from one street to the next. We regularly build raised beds in the Catford area for households in Hither Green, Bellingham and Grove Park. Our designs make the most of limited space while keeping pathways clear and usable.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, sunlight and what you want to grow, then recommend materials that match your garden and budget. Installation includes proper ground preparation, a stable base and clean, square lines so the bed stays straight over time. We keep disruption down, tidy up as we go, and explain aftercare for soil and planting. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, clear pricing and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, gardens can have mixed ground—clay pockets, rubble from old hardstanding, and uneven levels. Around Catford Cat statue routes and nearby residential streets, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal sensibly. We also match bed styles to local property character, from crisp brickwork near Victorian terraces to modern metal edging for updated plots. If you’re close to SE6 main roads, we’ll schedule to minimise disruption.

For raised beds in Catford, most projects fall within £200–£800 per bed depending on size and material. Sleeper beds are often the most cost-effective, while brick, stone and metal can cost more due to materials and labour. Your final figure can also change with ground preparation, removal of old edging, and whether you want multiple beds or a full vegetable garden layout. We provide itemised options after a site visit.
Most raised bed installations take 1–2 days, depending on how many beds you’re having and the chosen finish. A single sleeper bed on prepared ground can often be completed in a day, while brick or stone beds may take longer due to foundations, setting out and curing time. Access in SE6 gardens, steps, and the need to remove existing paving or soil can also extend the schedule. We confirm timings before work starts.
Raised beds are usually permitted garden works and don’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Lewisham, particularly when they’re not forming a boundary wall or causing significant changes to levels. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if a structure is very tall and close to a neighbour’s boundary. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on sensible heights and placement to keep everything compliant.
