If your garden needs clearer shape and better planting space, we can build raised beds that make an immediate difference. We install sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds that sit neatly alongside patios, paths and lawns. Many Catford clients ask for vegetable gardens and flower beds that stay contained and easy to maintain. We’re often working near Catford Broadway and Mountsfield Park, so we understand the local garden styles and constraints.
Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties means gardens vary widely in width, levels and access. Narrow side returns and stepped plots benefit from tiered beds to create usable planting zones without losing space. For family gardens, corner beds can soften fencing lines and keep play areas clear. We tailor the build and the height so planting is comfortable and the bed proportions suit the property.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, drainage and where you want the bed edges to align. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base where needed, and build with fixings and liners suited to the chosen material. You’ll get clear options on layout, height and planting depth before work begins, plus tidy working and reliable scheduling. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward communication and a finish that stays square and true.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, soil can be compacted and gardens often need better drainage and defined borders. In SE6 streets, access can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep pathways clear. Where parking is restricted, we schedule efficiently and use smaller loads when needed. The result is raised flower beds and sleeper beds Catford area homeowners can enjoy without the usual hassle.

Costs depend on size, height, materials and access. As a guide, simple sleeper beds often start around £250–£600 for smaller runs, while larger or taller designs with steps, corners or tiered sections can be £900–£2,500+. Brick, stone or metal beds typically cost more due to materials and labour, commonly £1,200–£4,000+ for feature builds. We’ll confirm a tailored range after a site visit.
Most single raised beds can be built in 1 day, including excavation and tidy-up. Multi-bed layouts, tiered beds or brick/stone builds usually take 2–5 days depending on curing time, ground conditions and how much spoil needs removing. Access in terraced streets and the distance from the front to the garden can also affect timings. We provide a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated.
Raised beds in rear gardens are usually permitted and don’t need planning permission, provided they’re not part of a larger structure or causing boundary issues. However, rules can vary for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering retaining walls, levels or drainage in a way that affects neighbours. We’ll flag anything that might need approval and can advise on sensible heights, set-backs and construction methods to stay compliant.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on the build structure, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, fixings failure, or poor assembly. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural weathering of timber over time, but we’ll explain maintenance to extend lifespan. If a problem arises, we inspect promptly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
We build sleeper beds for a warm, natural look, plus brick beds and stone beds for a more permanent, architectural finish. Metal beds are popular for contemporary gardens and clean lines. Design options include vegetable gardens, deep flower beds, tiered beds for slopes, and corner beds to maximise awkward spaces. We’ll help you choose heights, edging details and soil depth based on plants, sunlight and how you use the garden.
