Forest Hill gardens vary from compact courtyards to long Victorian plots, and raised beds make every metre work harder. We design and build vegetable gardens and flower beds that look sharp and grow well. Whether you’re near Forest Hill station or up by Blythe Hill Fields, we’ll tailor the height, layout and edging to your space. Expect neat lines, quality materials and a finish that complements your home.
Many properties around SE23 are Victorian and Edwardian houses or period conversions, often with narrow side access and established planting. We’re used to working around mature shrubs, paving levels and existing drainage without making a mess of the rest of the garden. If you’re in the raised beds Forest Hill area bordering Honor Oak or Sydenham, we can match materials to brickwork, patios and traditional boundary walls. The result is a bed that feels like it’s always belonged there.
We start with a quick site visit to measure, check levels and discuss what you want to grow, then recommend the right build-up and soil mix. Beds are constructed square, level and properly lined where needed, with clean edges and tidy waste removal. You’ll get clear pricing, a written scope, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Local homeowners trust us because we turn up when we say we will and finish to a premium standard.
We build raised beds in London Borough of Lewisham with an eye on typical access constraints, parking and waste removal. Forest Hill streets can mean limited drop-off space, so we plan deliveries and keep materials organised. Ground conditions vary, with pockets of clay that benefit from raised, free-draining beds and the right compost blend. We also align bed heights to existing patios and steps common in period gardens.

Most Raised Beds in Forest Hill fall between £200–£800 per bed depending on size, height and materials. Simple sleeper beds are usually the most cost-effective, while brick, stone or metal edging can increase labour and material costs. Many homeowners spend around £400–£1,500 for a small set of beds or a larger feature bed with quality soil, membranes and tidy removal of waste.
Installation typically takes 1–2 days for most gardens, including setting out, building, lining and filling with soil. A single straightforward sleeper bed can often be completed within a day, while multiple beds, brickwork, or significant level changes may push it into a second day. Access, disposal requirements, and whether we’re integrating irrigation or edging to existing paving can also affect timescales.
Raised beds are usually classed as minor garden works and don’t need planning permission, especially when they’re not forming a tall structure or affecting neighbours. That said, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering boundary walls or front gardens. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can help you check Lewisham guidance before work starts, for peace of mind.
