From compact patios near Central Park to larger family gardens around Wilmington, raised beds are a practical way to upgrade your outdoor space. They create crisp edges, improve drainage and make planting easier on your back. We build beds for flowers, shrubs and productive vegetable gardens, sized to suit how you use the garden. If you’re in DA1 or DA2, we can usually survey and install quickly.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means no two gardens are the same. We often work with narrow side access, stepped lawns and paving that needs careful protection. For modern plots in Greenhithe and Swanscombe, we can add raised beds that bring privacy and structure without losing usable space. Our designs balance looks with longevity, so beds stay straight and stable year after year.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, access and what you want to grow, then recommend the best materials and dimensions. Every bed is built on a solid, level base with clean joins and proper fixings. We keep the job tidy, dispose of waste responsibly and can supply quality topsoil and compost if required. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a written guarantee.
Across Dartford Borough we regularly see clay-heavy ground and gardens with slight falls, so we focus on drainage, levels and a stable base. Parking and access can be tighter near the town centre and around the Orchard Theatre, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to avoid disruption. For terrace gardens, we design modular beds that fit through side passages. For newer estates, we match clean lines and modern materials for a sharp finish.

Most raised beds in the Dartford area fall within £200–£800 per bed, depending on size, material and height. Simple sleeper beds tend to be at the lower end, while brick, stone or bespoke metal edging can cost more. If you’re installing multiple beds, adding steps, integrating seating, or including soil and compost delivery, typical overall spend is often £400–£1,500 for the project.
Most installations take 1–2 days, including setting out, preparing a level base and building the bed structure. A single sleeper bed in a clear area can often be completed in a day, while multiple beds or heavier materials like brick or stone may need longer. Access (such as narrow paths), ground levels, and whether you want soil, compost or planting added will also affect timescales.
In many cases, raised beds are classed as minor garden works and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can vary if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the work changes levels significantly or affects drainage near boundaries. We’ll talk through your plans and, where needed, help you check Dartford Borough Council guidance before work starts so everything stays compliant.
Yes. Our raised bed builds come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship and structural integrity, giving you confidence that the bed will remain stable and properly fixed. The warranty covers issues such as movement caused by poor base preparation or incorrect assembly. Normal wear, accidental damage, and natural ageing of materials (especially timber) aren’t covered, but we’ll advise on care to maximise lifespan.
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, natural look, brick to match existing housework, and metal edging for modern, crisp lines. We can also create vegetable gardens with practical widths for reaching the centre, or layered flower beds for year-round colour. We’ll recommend heights, drainage and finishes to suit your planting.
