A well-built raised bed gives you crisp borders, improved drainage and a more manageable garden year-round. We design and install beds across BR4, from compact front gardens near West Wickham High Street to larger plots close to Sparrows Den. Whether you want a vegetable garden or structured flower beds, we’ll size and position everything to suit light, access and how you use the space. The result is a practical feature that looks intentional, not improvised.
West Wickham’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and newer developments often comes with lawns, side access and varied levels, which makes raised beds a great solution. We regularly work in the raised beds West Wickham area including Hayes and Shirley, adapting layouts for narrower side returns, patios and sloped corners. If your garden borders open ground, we can also plan for wind exposure and stronger planting structure. Every build is measured to fit your property, not a one-size template.
We start with a site visit to discuss what you want to grow and how you want the beds to look. Then we handle setting out, ground preparation, weed suppression, solid edging and clean finishes, plus quality topsoil where needed. You’ll get clear guidance on maintenance and planting, and we keep the job tidy from day one. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a straightforward 10-year warranty.
We’re used to gardens across the London Borough of Bromley where clay-heavy ground and winter waterlogging can be an issue, so we design beds with proper base prep and drainage in mind. Many West Wickham streets have limited parking and shared driveways, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep access clear. For 1930s properties, we match materials to existing brickwork and paving for a cohesive look. We also consider boundary lines and neighbour proximity when setting heights and positions.

Costs depend on size, material and how much groundwork is required. As a guide, most beds fall around £200–£800 per bed, with more substantial builds (multiple beds, tiered layouts, steps or premium stone/brickwork) commonly totalling £400–£1,500 overall. Sleeper beds are often the most cost-effective, while brick, stone and metal edging can increase labour and material costs. We’ll confirm options after a site visit.
Most raised bed installations take 1–2 days, depending on the number of beds and the materials chosen. A single sleeper bed on level ground can often be completed in a day, while brick or stone beds, tiered designs, or sites needing excavation and soil replacement may take longer. Access for materials, waste removal, and whether you want topsoil and planting added can also affect the schedule. We’ll agree timings before work starts.
In most cases, raised beds in rear gardens are permitted and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re working near a highway in a front garden, altering boundary treatments, building very high structures, or if your property has restrictions such as a listed status or specific covenants. We’ll ask the right questions at survey stage and can advise on sensible heights and placement to stay compliant in Bromley.
Yes. Our raised bed builds come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity, such as fixings, joints and stability when used as intended. Natural materials will weather over time, and timber can change colour, but we build to minimise movement and premature failure. We’ll also advise on simple maintenance to extend lifespan, including drainage, soil levels and keeping timber clear of constant saturation where possible.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds, as well as dedicated vegetable gardens and formal flower beds. Popular options include tiered beds for sloped gardens, integrated seating edges, and narrow herb beds along patios or paths. We’ll help you choose based on budget, desired look, longevity and how you plan to use the space. We also advise on the best soil mix and bed depth for your planting goals.
