Crystal Palace gardens often need structure—especially on the hill and around older plots. We create raised beds that bring order to borders, improve drainage and make planting easier on your back. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Anerley and SE19, we’ll design beds that look intentional, not improvised. From statement sleeper edging to neat brickwork, every build is tailored to your layout.
Local homes range from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to period conversions with compact rear gardens. That mix calls for smart use of space: corner beds to soften tight angles, tiered beds for changes in level, and vegetable gardens that maximise sun. In the raised flower beds and sleeper beds crystal palace area, we regularly work with narrow side access and shared boundaries. Our designs respect sightlines, paths and patio levels so the garden feels larger and easier to maintain.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and agree the planting purpose—flowers, shrubs or productive veg. Beds are built on a stable base with proper fixings and, where needed, membranes and drainage layers to reduce rot and bulging. You’ll get a clear written scope, tidy workmanship and reliable scheduling. Homeowners choose us because we turn ideas into clean, long-lasting builds without surprises.
Crystal Palace sits across Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, so access and waste rules can vary street by street. We plan deliveries and removal around parking restrictions and narrow drives, common in SE19 and SE20. The area’s elevated position can mean faster drainage and exposed spots, so we size beds and choose materials accordingly. We also match finishes to period brickwork and traditional garden layouts.

Costs depend on size, material and access. As a guide, small sleeper or timber beds often start from £350–£900, while larger runs or tiered beds are typically £1,200–£3,500+. Brick or stone beds usually cost more due to foundations and labour, commonly £1,800–£6,000+. Metal edging systems vary widely, often £900–£3,000+. We provide a site-specific quote after measuring levels and discussing finishes.
Most straightforward raised beds take 1–2 days to build, including ground preparation and tidy-up. Larger sleeper layouts, tiered beds, or multiple borders typically take 3–5 days. Brick and stone beds can take longer because of footings, curing time and detailed pointing—often 4–7 days. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, weather, and whether we’re importing soil, compost or adding irrigation.
Raised flower beds are usually permitted garden works and don’t require planning permission. That said, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary walls, or if a structure is acting like a retaining wall near a neighbour’s land. Because Crystal Palace spans several boroughs, we check the relevant council guidance and flag any risks before work starts. If permissions are advisable, we’ll help you understand what’s needed.
Yes. Our raised bed installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect build methods, fixings failure, or poor base preparation. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural ageing of materials (for example, timber weathering), but we specify suitable products and construction methods to maximise lifespan. We’ll also advise on simple maintenance to keep beds looking sharp.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and modern metal beds, plus tiered and corner configurations for awkward plots. For productive gardens, we can create dedicated vegetable beds with improved soil blends and practical path spacing. Flower beds can be designed with planting depth, edging height and maintenance in mind. We’ll help you choose materials that suit your home’s style, budget and exposure, and we can match colours and finishes to existing paving or brickwork.
