A well-built raised bed makes planting easier, improves drainage and gives your garden a crisp, organised look. We install bespoke beds across Orpington, including near Orpington station and Priory Gardens. Whether you want a productive vegetable garden or a statement flower bed, we tailor height, layout and edging to your space. We also plan access and tidy removal so the garden is usable straight away.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates often comes with lawns and borders that benefit from clearer structure. We regularly work in BR5 and BR6 gardens where sloping ground, tired edging or compacted soil makes planting frustrating. Our designs suit family gardens and busy households, with options for child-friendly corners and easy-to-reach planting heights. If you’re in Petts Wood or St Mary Cray, we’ll match the bed style to the property and existing hard landscaping.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss planting goals and recommend materials that suit your budget and maintenance preferences. Then we prepare the base properly, build the bed square and level, and backfill with quality topsoil or compost blends as needed. Work is typically completed in 1–2 days, and we leave the site clean and safe. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
Gardens around Orpington often have mixed ground conditions, from compacted lawn areas to clay-heavy soil that benefits from raised, free-draining beds. We plan deliveries and waste removal with local parking and access in mind, especially on busier roads near the High Street and The Walnuts Shopping Centre. Where gardens sit on a slope, we can terrace beds or create retaining edges for stability. Our designs suit Bromley property styles and keep pathways and gates clear for day-to-day use.

Most raised beds in Orpington fall between £200–£800 per bed, depending on size, height and material (sleepers, brick, stone or metal). Many homeowners spend around £400–£1,500 in total when adding multiple beds, soil, compost and planting layouts. Costs also change with access, removal of old edging, and whether you want integrated seating, capping stones or irrigation.
Most installations take 1–2 days. A single sleeper bed can often be built in a day, while multiple beds, brickwork, stone facing or terracing can push the job into a second day. Timing depends on ground preparation, access for materials, and whether we’re also removing old borders or improving drainage. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after measuring up on site.
Raised beds are usually permitted garden works and don’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your home is listed, in a conservation area, or if the beds form part of a larger retaining structure near a boundary. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on sensible heights and set-backs. If needed, we’ll help you check relevant Bromley council guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our raised-bed installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by poor base preparation or fixings that fail under normal use. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural weathering of materials like timber over time. We’ll also explain how to maintain your chosen material—especially sleepers—to maximise lifespan and keep edges looking sharp.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds, plus tailored layouts for vegetable gardens and flower beds. Popular choices include chunky timber sleepers for a warm look, brick to match housework, and powder-coated steel for a clean modern edge. We’ll help you choose heights, capping details and soil depth based on what you’re planting. If you want a kitchen garden, we can plan practical paths and bed spacing too.
