A well-built raised bed transforms an awkward corner into a feature and makes planting far easier. We design and install raised beds across SW17, from compact courtyards near Tooting Broadway station to family gardens by Tooting Bec Common. Choose clean-lined sleeper beds, brickwork to match your house, or contemporary metal edging. Whether you want a vegetable garden or a long flower border, we’ll build it to last.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have narrow side access and long, rectangular plots, so details matter. We plan bed sizes around paths, bin routes and doors, and keep heights comfortable for weeding and harvesting. Mansion conversions can need lighter-touch solutions, such as modular metal beds that minimise disruption. If you’re in Tooting Bec, Tooting Broadway, Tooting Graveney or Furzedown, we’ll tailor the layout to your garden’s proportions and light.
Our process starts with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage and the best orientation for planting. We install solid foundations, fixings and liners where needed, then fill with quality topsoil and compost blends suited to your plants. Work is kept tidy, with clear start/finish times and careful waste removal. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, straightforward advice and a finish that stays square and stable year after year.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, many gardens sit on made ground with compacted layers, so we prepare bases to prevent settling and bowing. Access in Tooting terraces can be tight, so we plan deliveries and cut materials on-site to reduce disruption. We also consider parking restrictions and keep pathways protected during the build. The result is a raised bed that looks sharp and performs well in local conditions.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most raised beds in Tooting fall within £200–£800 per bed, depending on size, height and material. Sleeper beds are often the most cost-effective, while brick or stone beds cost more due to labour and foundations. If you’re creating multiple beds, adding edging, or including soil, compost and planting, typical overall spend can be £400–£1,500 for a small project. We’ll advise options to suit your budget.
Most installations take 1–2 days, including ground preparation, building the bed and filling with soil. A single sleeper bed in an accessible garden can often be completed in a day. Brick or stone beds usually take longer because they need more foundation work and careful setting out. Timescales also depend on access through the house, waste removal, and whether you want multiple beds or a full vegetable garden layout.
Raised beds are usually permitted garden works and don’t require planning permission, especially when they’re not used as a retaining wall for major level changes. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where walls and boundaries are affected. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can suggest compliant designs. If needed, we’ll help you understand what Wandsworth may require before work starts.
Yes—our raised bed builds come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship and structural integrity. This covers issues such as movement due to poor fixing, joints opening, or frames failing under normal garden use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural weathering of materials over time. We also share care guidance, including soil top-ups and timber treatment advice, to keep your beds looking their best.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds, sized to suit your garden and planting goals. Popular choices in SW17 include timber sleepers for warm, natural borders, brickwork to complement Victorian terraces, and powder-coated steel for a modern look. We can design vegetable gardens with practical path widths, or flower beds with layered heights for impact. We’ll recommend the best option based on style, budget and maintenance preferences.
