Coulsdon gardens often enjoy open views and breezy plots, especially near Farthing Downs and Happy Valley. Raised beds are a practical way to create clear planting zones, improve drainage and keep borders looking sharp all year. Whether you want a productive vegetable garden or a bold flower bed, we build beds that fit your layout and lifestyle. We work across CR5, including Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley.
From large detached houses with generous lawns to 1930s properties and newer developments, the raised bed design needs to suit the setting. We regularly build raised beds Coulsdon area homeowners use to add structure to sloping lawns, define patios, or create low-maintenance borders. If you’re dealing with awkward corners, tired shrub beds or compact side returns, we can turn them into useful planting space. Our designs also consider access routes and storage so your garden stays practical.
We start with a site visit to check levels, sunlight, drainage and how you’ll use the bed day-to-day. Next, we agree the materials, dimensions and finish, then build on solid footings with clean edges and proper fixings. We keep disruption low, protect surrounding paving and lawns, and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, clear communication and a 10-year warranty on our build quality.
Coulsdon’s semi-rural plots can vary from chalky, free-draining ground near the downs to compacted soil in older gardens. We tailor bed depth, lining and drainage to suit, and we plan deliveries around tighter drives and on-street parking in Old Coulsdon and Hooley. Where gardens sit on a slope, we set levels carefully so beds look straight and don’t twist over time. We also keep an eye on boundaries and visibility where properties back onto open land.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most raised beds in Coulsdon fall within £200–£800 per bed depending on size, height and material. Sleeper beds are often the most cost-effective, while brick and stone typically cost more due to groundwork and labour. If you’re creating several beds, adding steps, or including soil and compost, a typical overall spend can be £400–£1,500. We’ll confirm options after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–2 days, assuming straightforward access and standard bed sizes. Timing can increase if we’re building multiple beds, using brick or stone that needs footings, or if the garden is sloped and requires extra levelling. Poor access for materials, removal of old borders, and adding topsoil or compost can also extend the job. We’ll give a clear schedule before work starts.
In most cases, raised beds are classed as permitted garden works and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if the bed forms part of a retaining structure on a significant slope, or if it affects drainage or boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on sensible heights and set-backs. When needed, we’ll help you check Croydon guidance.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our raised bed builds, covering structural integrity such as fixings, alignment and construction method. It’s designed to give peace of mind that the bed won’t loosen, lean or fail due to poor installation. Natural weathering, movement from extreme ground conditions, and plant-related issues aren’t usually covered, but we’ll explain how to minimise these with the right design and materials.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds, tailored to your garden style and budget. Popular choices include timber sleepers for a warm, modern look, brick to match housework, and metal for clean contemporary lines. We can create vegetable gardens with practical widths for reaching, or deeper flower beds for shrubs and perennials. We’ll help you choose height, edging detail, and soil depth to suit what you want to grow.
