If your garden needs structure, better drainage, or more planting space, we can help with raised beds that suit how you live. We regularly work around Downham Fields and the streets leading towards Grove Park, creating beds that make mowing, planting and edging far simpler. Whether you want a neat flower border, a productive vegetable garden, or a tiered feature to manage a slope, we’ll design it to fit your layout. We also build corner beds to make awkward spaces useful again.
Downham’s established residential estate includes 1920s cottage homes, 1930s semis and post-war housing, often with long rear gardens and side access that can be tight. We plan bed heights and footprints to complement typical patio levels, paths and existing fences, keeping everything in proportion. For families near Bonus Pastor Catholic College or commuters heading towards Catford and Bromley, we prioritise low-maintenance finishes and tidy boundaries. If you’ve got uneven ground or compacted soil, raised beds can transform what will grow successfully.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then we prepare the base with the right sub-layer, drainage and edging detail. We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds with fixings and liners chosen for longevity. You’ll get straightforward scheduling, respectful workmanship and a clean handover. Many homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we turn up when agreed and build beds that stay level and solid year after year.
We’re used to working in the BR1 postcode with typical side passages, shared boundaries and limited on-street parking.

Costs depend on size, height, material and access. As a guide, simple sleeper beds often start from around £350–£800 per bed, while larger or tiered layouts can be £1,200–£3,000+. Brick or stone raised beds typically cost more due to foundations and labour, often £1,500–£4,000+ for a feature run. We’ll confirm pricing after a site visit and design.
Most single sleeper beds can be built in a day, including base preparation. A set of multiple beds, tiered beds or a larger vegetable garden layout usually takes 2–4 days. Brick, stone or metal systems can take longer where foundations, curing times or bespoke fabrication are involved. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, weather, and whether you want soil supply and planting included.
Raised beds are usually permitted garden works and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering boundary walls, building very high structures, affecting drainage, or working near a listed building or in a conservation area. We’ll flag anything that may need checking and can advise on sensible heights and setbacks. For raised flower beds and sleeper beds in London Borough of Lewisham, we build to good practice and local expectations.
