Blackheath gardens often benefit from raised beds that add structure, improve drainage and make planting easier to manage. Whether you’re overlooking Blackheath Common or tucked behind Blackheath Village, we design beds that look intentional rather than “added on”. Choose sleeper beds for a warm, natural edge, or opt for brick, stone or metal for a more formal finish. We also build vegetable gardens, flower beds, tiered beds and neat corner beds to maximise awkward spaces.
Our work is tailored to the property styles you see across SE3: Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and tasteful period conversions. Many plots have mature planting, established lawns and narrow side access, so we plan materials and delivery carefully. If you’re in Greenwich, Lee, Lewisham or Kidbrooke, we match bed heights and proportions to your garden’s scale and sightlines. The result is a raised bed that complements the architecture rather than competing with it.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage and how you want to use the space—flowers, herbs, or productive veg. Then we produce a clear plan, recommend suitable materials, and build on a stable base with proper fixings and clean edges. We keep disruption low, protect paths and patios, and leave the garden tidy each day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Blackheath plots can vary from free-draining sandy patches to heavier clay pockets, so we adjust bases, membranes and backfill to suit. Access can be tight on streets near The Paragon, so we plan delivery sizes and minimise on-site cutting. We also consider parking and local restrictions, especially when arranging skips or grab-bags. Our designs respect period façades and established planting, keeping the garden’s character intact.

Costs depend on size, height, materials and access. As a guide, small sleeper or timber raised beds often start around £350–£800, while larger L-shapes or tiered beds commonly fall between £900–£2,500. Brick, stone and metal beds are typically higher due to materials and labour, often £1,200–£4,000+. We’ll confirm a tailored range after a site visit in SE3.
Most single raised beds are completed in 1–2 days, including ground preparation and tidy-up. Larger schemes—multiple beds, tiered layouts, or integrated vegetable gardens—usually take 3–5 days. Timescales vary with excavation depth, drainage requirements, curing time for brick/stone, and how easily materials can be brought through the property. We’ll give a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In most cases, raised beds within a rear garden don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if the work alters boundary walls, or if the bed height creates safety issues near public highways. If your property is listed or close to protected features, extra checks may be needed. We’ll flag any concerns and help you confirm requirements with the relevant council.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity of the build (for example, fixings, alignment and stability), provided the beds aren’t altered by others and are used as intended. Natural materials can weather over time, but we select suitable grades and construction methods to maximise lifespan. We’ll also advise on simple maintenance to keep the beds looking sharp year after year.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal-edged beds, plus bespoke layouts for vegetable gardens and ornamental flower beds. Popular designs include tiered beds for sloping gardens, corner beds to use dead space, and long border planters to frame lawns or patios. We’ll help you choose based on the look of your home, desired height, durability, drainage needs and how you want to plant and maintain the space.
