Brixton gardens come in all shapes, from compact courtyards near Electric Avenue to longer plots around Brixton Hill. Raised beds make the most of limited space, creating crisp borders, productive vegetable gardens, or statement flower beds with year-round structure. We design and build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds to match your home and planting goals. Expect practical layouts that work for entertaining, pets, and busy family life.
In SW2 and SW9 you’ll often find Victorian terraces with narrow side returns, Georgian houses with formal proportions, and modern developments needing softer, greener edges. Raised beds are a neat way to add height, screening and colour without losing valuable lawn or patio space. Tiered beds work brilliantly on sloping sections, while corner beds can turn awkward angles into a feature. We tailor dimensions for comfortable access, including options that reduce bending for easier gardening.
We start with a site visit to check levels, sunlight, drainage and access, then propose a clear design and itemised scope. Beds are built on firm, level foundations with proper fixings and liners where needed, so they stay straight and stable. We keep the job tidy, manage waste responsibly, and leave everything ready for planting or mulching. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, craftsmanship, and a finish that looks sharp from day one.
Brixton’s mix of paved courtyards and compact rear gardens often means tight access and careful material handling. We plan deliveries and parking around busy streets near Brixton Market and peak times, keeping disruption low. Ground conditions can vary from made-up ground to heavy clay, so we prepare stable bases and specify drainage where required. Designs are scaled to typical terrace plots, with options that suit both period brickwork and modern finishes.

Costs vary by size, material and site access. As a guide, small sleeper or metal-edged beds often start around £450–£900, while larger runs, tiered beds or premium stone/brick builds commonly fall between £1,200–£3,500+. Extras such as soil, compost, irrigation, planting, or removing old hardstanding can affect the total. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most straightforward raised beds are completed in 1–2 days, including base preparation and tidy-up. Larger sleeper beds, brick or stone beds, and tiered layouts typically take 2–5 days depending on curing times and complexity. Access in terrace gardens, steps, and restricted working hours can extend the schedule. We’ll confirm timings before starting and keep you updated throughout the job.
In most cases, raised flower beds and sleeper beds are permitted garden works and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, working near a boundary wall, altering drainage, or the property is listed. If the design affects shared walls or party boundaries, we’ll flag it early. We can advise on best practice and help you check Lambeth requirements when needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our raised bed installations, covering structural integrity such as fixings, alignment and stability when used as intended. Materials are selected for outdoor durability, and any manufacturer guarantees on metal components or specialist products are passed on where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or normal weathering. We’ll explain care tips to maximise lifespan.
We build sleeper beds for a warm, contemporary look, plus brick beds and stone beds to complement period homes. For sharper lines and minimal thickness, metal beds are a popular choice, especially in modern gardens. Design options include vegetable gardens, flower beds, tiered beds for slopes, and corner beds to use awkward spaces. We’ll help you choose heights, widths, edging and soil mixes based on planting, sunlight and maintenance preferences.
