If your borders struggle with compacted soil or untidy edges, a raised bed is a practical upgrade. We design and install raised beds across Cheam and nearby Worcester Park, creating clean lines and healthier planting areas. Whether you want a productive vegetable garden or a statement flower bed, we build to suit your space and style. We’re regularly working near Cheam Village and around postcodes SM2 and SM3.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes often comes with mature gardens and established layouts. We match new raised beds to existing patios, paths and brickwork so everything looks intentional rather than “added on”. For smaller side returns and front gardens, we can maximise planting without losing usable space. For larger plots near Nonsuch Park, we can create multi-bed layouts for veg rotations and seasonal colour.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage and access, then agree the bed size, height and finish. Your beds are built on a stable base, lined where needed, and filled with the right growing medium for the plants you want. We keep the job tidy, protect surrounding lawns and paving, and talk you through aftercare. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for clear pricing, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Many gardens in the London Borough of Sutton have clay-leaning soil and shaded spots from mature hedges, so we design beds with proper depth, drainage layers and suitable compost blends. Access can be tight on some Cheam roads, especially around schools and commuter parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary lines, existing trees and conservation-area sensitivities near Cheam Village. The result is a bed that looks right and performs well year after year.

For raised beds Cheam area projects, most installations fall within £200–£800 per bed depending on size and material. A typical overall spend is around £400–£1,500 when you include multiple beds, improved topsoil/compost, liners, drainage layers and removal of old edging. Sleeper beds are often the most cost-effective, while brick, stone and metal can cost more due to materials and labour. We’ll confirm costs after a site survey.
Most raised bed builds take 1–2 days, depending on how many beds you want and whether we’re removing old borders, edging or hardstanding first. Simple sleeper beds can often be completed in a day, while brick or stone beds may take longer due to foundations, setting times and detailing. Access, waste removal and the volume of soil/compost deliveries can also affect the schedule. We’ll agree a realistic timeline before starting.
In most cases, raised beds are classed as minor garden works and don’t require planning permission. That said, rules can differ if you’re in a conservation area, close to a boundary, altering significant levels, or building retaining structures that affect neighbouring land. If your property is near Cheam Village’s conservation area or has restrictions, we’ll flag it early and advise on the safest approach. We can also help you check any relevant Sutton Council guidance.
Yes. Our raised beds come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as structural failure caused by installation faults, fixings coming loose, or beds moving out of level under normal garden use. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or natural ageing of materials (for example, timber weathering), but we’ll always advise on maintenance to extend lifespan. If there’s a problem, we respond quickly and put it right.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds, as well as dedicated vegetable gardens and formal flower beds. Popular options include stepped heights for sloping gardens, integrated seating edges, and narrow beds to frame paths or patios. We’ll help you choose based on your planting goals, the look of your home, and long-term maintenance. We can also advise on liners, irrigation options and the best soil mix for veg or perennials.
