A well-built raised bed makes planting easier, improves drainage and gives your garden a crisp, intentional layout. We design and install beds across Croydon, from Addiscombe to South Croydon, with practical heights and tidy lines. Whether you want a vegetable garden or a showy flower border, we’ll tailor the size and finish to your space. We’re regularly working near East Croydon station and the Whitgift Centre, so help is never far away.
Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments means every garden comes with different constraints. Narrow side access in CR0 terraces often calls for modular builds and careful material handling. Larger plots around CR2 can take deeper beds, stepped levels and wider planting schemes. We design raised beds croydon area homeowners can live with day-to-day—easy to maintain, comfortable to reach, and made to last.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss planting goals and confirm levels, drainage and access. Your bed is then built on a stable base, lined where needed, and filled with the right blend for vegetables or ornamentals. We keep the work area organised, protect existing paving and lawns, and clear waste as we go. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Croydon gardens often have compacted ground, mixed made-up soil and occasional slopes, especially around Addiscombe and Shirley. We prepare a solid, level base and choose fixings that cope with movement and moisture. Access and parking can be tight near CR0 and busy routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where needed, we’ll also consider boundary lines and any local restrictions before work starts.

Most raised beds in Croydon fall between £200–£800 per bed depending on size, material and access. Sleeper beds are often the most cost-effective, while brick, stone or metal can cost more due to labour and specialist finishes. If you’re combining multiple beds, adding steps/terracing, or including soil, compost and planting, a typical overall spend can be £400–£1,500 for a small scheme.
Most installations take 1–2 days, covering ground preparation, building the bed, lining (if required) and filling with the right soil mix. Simple sleeper beds can sometimes be completed in a day, while brick or stone beds may take longer due to foundations, setting times and detailing. Access, waste removal, level changes and the number of beds also affect the programme.
In many cases, raised beds are classed as permitted garden works and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, building near a boundary, affecting drainage, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and can advise on sensible heights and placement to stay compliant in the London Borough of Croydon.
Yes. Our raised bed builds come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect fixing, poor base preparation, or faulty assembly. It applies to the bed construction itself rather than plant performance, which depends on watering, weather and ongoing care. We’ll also explain how to look after timber, joints and finishes so your bed stays strong and tidy.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds, with options for vegetable gardens, herb sections or layered flower beds. Popular choices include stepped beds for sloped gardens, narrow beds for side returns, and deeper beds for root crops. We’ll help you choose based on budget, style, sun exposure and maintenance preferences, and we’ll recommend the right soil and compost blend for what you want to grow.
