If your garden soil is tired, shaded or hard to work, a raised bed gives you control and instant structure. We build durable beds for vegetables and flowers across SE26, with clean lines that suit Sydenham’s leafy plots. Many clients near Sydenham Wells Park want beds that look good year-round and are easy to maintain. We can also integrate seating edges, paths and irrigation-ready layouts.
Sydenham’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have long gardens, side returns and awkward levels. We design raised beds to fit narrow borders, patio edges and sloping lawns without stealing usable space. For homes around Forest Hill and Lower Sydenham, access can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. The result is a bed that complements your property rather than looking like an add-on.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss planting goals, and recommend suitable materials and heights. Your bed is built on a stable base with proper drainage and quality fixings, then filled with the right blend for vegetables or ornamentals. We keep the site tidy, protect existing paving and lawns, and confirm levels before final fixing. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, professional workmanship and a 10-year warranty on installation.
We regularly install raised beds in the London Borough of Lewisham, where gardens can have mixed soil, mature tree roots and shaded corners near green spaces like Sydenham Hill Wood. Parking and access vary street to street, so we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and keep materials secure. Many SE26 properties have steps, narrow side passages or shared access, and we design bed components to be carried through safely. We also match styles to period brickwork and traditional garden layouts.

Costs vary by material, size, height and access. As a guide, most raised beds in the Sydenham area fall between £200–£800 per bed for straightforward sleeper or compact metal options. More substantial brick or stone beds, bespoke shapes, or multiple beds with soil and drainage upgrades can take the typical overall spend to around £400–£1,500. We’ll confirm options after measuring and discussing your planting plan.
Most raised bed installations take 1–2 days, depending on how many beds you want and the material chosen. Sleeper and metal beds are usually quicker, while brick and stonework can take longer due to foundations, setting time and detailing. Access through side passages, removal of old borders, and whether you want soil supplied and filled will also affect the schedule. We’ll give a clear plan before work starts.
Raised beds are usually classed as minor garden works and don’t require planning permission. That said, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the work affects boundaries, drainage or shared access. We’ll ask the right questions during the survey and can help you check any Lewisham-specific considerations. If permission or landlord approval is needed, we’ll advise before you commit.
Yes. Our raised bed installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship and structural integrity of the build.
