From smart courtyards off King’s Road to family gardens near Stamford Bridge, raised beds bring order and impact to Chelsea outdoor spaces. They create defined planting zones for flowers, shrubs or a productive vegetable garden, while improving drainage and soil quality. Whether you want a neat corner bed or a statement tiered layout, we tailor the design to your garden’s proportions. Every build is finished with clean edges and planting-ready soil levels.
Chelsea homes often feature Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments with terraces, balconies or communal gardens. These settings suit refined detailing—brick beds that match existing walls, stone beds that echo paving, or sleek metal beds for contemporary schemes. We regularly work across SW3 and SW10, including nearby South Kensington and Knightsbridge, and understand the expectations for premium workmanship. Planting plans can be formal, architectural, or soft and seasonal depending on your style.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss access, and agree bed heights, layouts and materials. Your raised bed is then built on a stable base with proper fixings, drainage considerations and high-quality topsoil/compost blends. We keep the site tidy, protect surrounding paving and finishes, and provide clear aftercare guidance for watering and feeding. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, precise workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our installation.
Chelsea gardens can have limited access, shared entrances and strict parking controls, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, existing stone paving and high-value finishes common in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Ground conditions vary, so we prepare stable foundations and improve soil where needed for long-term performance. If a design affects boundaries or front gardens, we’ll flag any council considerations early.

Costs in Chelsea vary with size, materials and access. As a guide, simple timber sleeper beds often start from around £450–£900 for smaller runs, while larger or tiered builds can be £1,200–£3,000+. Brick or stone beds typically begin around £1,500 and can rise to £5,000+ for premium finishes and complex layouts. Metal beds sit mid-to-high depending on fabrication and powder coating.
Most projects take 1–3 days for a straightforward sleeper or metal bed installation, including base preparation and soil fill. Brick or stone beds usually take 3–7 days due to groundwork, setting times and finishing details. Timescales depend on access (stairs, narrow passages), the number of beds, tiered designs, and whether we’re removing old structures or improving drainage. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site visit.
In many back gardens, raised beds are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering boundary walls, working in a listed property, or within a conservation area—both are common locally. Front garden changes can also have extra considerations, especially where visibility and materials matter. We’ll advise on likely requirements and, if needed, help you check guidance for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea before work starts.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for raised bed installations, covering issues caused by installation such as structural movement, fixings failure, or poor base preparation. The warranty applies when the beds are used as intended and not altered by others. Materials naturally weather over time—especially timber sleepers—so we’ll explain expected ageing and maintenance. If anything looks wrong, we respond quickly and put it right.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds, with options for vegetable gardens, formal flower beds, corner beds and tiered beds for sloped sites. Sleeper beds suit warm, natural schemes; brick and stone work well with period properties; metal gives a crisp contemporary edge. We’ll help you choose heights, finishes and planting layouts based on sunlight, irrigation needs and how you want the garden to look through the seasons.
