A well-built raised bed brings structure to a garden and makes planting easier to manage. We design and install sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds across SW19 and SW20. Whether you’re near Wimbledon Village or walking distance from Wimbledon Common, we’ll create beds that suit the style of your outdoor space. Vegetable gardens and flower beds are finished with crisp edges and practical access.
Wimbledon’s mix of large Victorian houses, Edwardian villas and exclusive modern homes often comes with generous plots—but also tricky levels, mature roots and established borders. We build raised beds that respect existing planting and improve drainage where lawns meet patios. For townhouse courtyards in South Wimbledon or larger gardens around Wimbledon Park, we tailor height, width and access for comfortable gardening. The result looks intentional, not added on.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, sun exposure and how you want to use the bed—ornamental, herbs, or productive veg. Our team handles ground preparation, weed control layers, robust fixings and clean finishes, then leaves the area tidy. You’ll get clear recommendations on materials and soil depth, plus straightforward scheduling. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will and build for longevity, not shortcuts.
Across the London Borough of Merton, we often find compact side access, shared drives and controlled parking—so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Wimbledon gardens can include heavy clay pockets and tree roots, especially near Wimbledon Common, so we adjust foundations and soil build-ups accordingly. We also match materials to local property character, from traditional brickwork to modern steel edging. If needed, we’ll advise on keeping work within sensible boundary and height limits.

Costs vary by size, material and ground preparation. As a guide, simple sleeper or metal beds often start around £200–£800 per bed, while larger or multiple-bed layouts with brick or stonework commonly fall in the £400–£1,500 range. Factors such as levelling, removing old borders, adding quality topsoil and improving drainage can affect the final figure. We provide a written estimate after a site visit.
Most raised bed installations take 1–2 days, depending on how many beds you want and the materials chosen. A single sleeper bed on level ground can be completed quickly, while brick or stone beds take longer due to foundations, setting and finishing. Access in SW19/SW20, waste removal, and any excavation around roots or existing paving can also extend the schedule. We’ll confirm timings before booking.
Raised beds are usually permitted garden works and don’t require planning permission, especially when they’re not acting as a retaining wall or altering boundaries. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if the bed is unusually tall, or if it affects drainage or neighbouring land. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on sensible heights and placement to stay compliant in Merton.
Yes. Our raised beds come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect construction, fixings failure, or poor assembly. Natural weathering of timber, minor surface marks, and normal settling of soil are not faults, but we’ll always advise on aftercare to minimise them. If a problem arises, we respond quickly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
We build sleeper beds for a warm, natural look, brick beds to match period homes, stone beds for a premium finish, and metal beds for clean modern lines. Designs can include stepped levels, integrated seating edges, narrow herb runs, or deeper vegetable gardens with proper soil depth. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability, budget, and how you plan to use the space, then produce a clear layout before we start.
