From Keston Common to the paths around Keston Ponds, local gardens here suit well-defined planting areas that look natural and stay easy to maintain. Our raised beds create crisp edges for flowers or productive vegetable gardens, while improving soil depth and drainage. We build to fit awkward corners, sloping lawns and patio borders, keeping everything square and stable. If you’re in BR2 and want a cleaner layout, raised beds are a practical upgrade.
Keston’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes often comes with generous plots and mature planting that needs careful integration. We design beds that complement traditional brickwork and older garden features, while still working for modern planting plans. For larger gardens around Hayes, Farnborough and Downe, we can zone spaces into kitchen gardens, cutting beds and long flowering borders. The result is a garden that’s easier to manage without losing its character.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss planting goals, and recommend the right height and materials. Then we prepare a solid base, install the bed structure, and fill with quality topsoil/compost blends to suit vegetables or ornamentals. Work is scheduled efficiently as we’re around 30 minutes away, and we leave the site clean and usable each day. Homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, neat finishes and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Gardens in the London Borough of Bromley can vary from free-draining areas to heavier clay pockets, so we tailor soil mixes and drainage layers accordingly. Access in BR2 can involve narrow side passages and long carries, so we plan deliveries, barrow routes and waste removal to keep disruption down. Where properties back onto greener spaces near Keston Common, we design beds that suit a softer, countryside feel. We also keep an eye on boundary lines, tree roots and neighbour considerations before we build.

In Keston, most raised beds fall between £200–£800 per bed depending on size and material. Simple sleeper beds are usually at the lower end, while brick, stone or metal beds cost more due to materials and groundwork. Typical projects can be £400–£1,500 when you include excavation, base preparation, soil/compost fill and multiple beds. We’ll confirm costs after measuring levels and access in BR2.
Most raised beds are installed in 1–2 days, especially if the area is clear and access is straightforward. Timescales can increase if we’re removing old edging, digging out compacted ground, building on a slope, or installing brick/stonework that needs careful setting and alignment. Multiple beds, integrated steps, or adding topsoil in larger volumes also adds time. We’ll give a clear schedule before work starts.
Raised beds in rear gardens are usually permitted development and don’t require planning permission, particularly when they’re not forming a tall retaining structure. However, rules can change if you’re close to boundaries, altering levels significantly, working near protected trees, or your property is listed. In the London Borough of Bromley we’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and advise if you should check with the council before proceeding.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our raised bed installations. This covers issues such as structural movement caused by poor installation, fixings coming loose, or failures in the way the bed has been built and set on its base. Normal wear, accidental damage, and plant/soil performance aren’t covered, but we’ll always advise on the right materials and build method to maximise lifespan in Keston gardens.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds, and can tailor the height for comfortable planting or better root depth. Popular options include timber sleepers for a warm, natural look, brick to match period homes, and powder-coated steel for a crisp contemporary edge. We can also create dedicated vegetable gardens, herb sections and flower beds with integrated paths. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability, budget and maintenance.
