East Dulwich gardens often benefit from added structure, especially where lawns slope or borders feel cramped. We design and build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds that look sharp and make planting easier. Whether you’re near Lordship Lane or walking distance from Dulwich Park, we’ll create beds that suit how you use the space. Popular requests include flower beds, vegetable gardens and corner beds to maximise smaller plots.
Our team knows the raised flower beds and sleeper beds East Dulwich area homeowners prefer: practical, long-lasting and in keeping with period homes. Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses in SE22 often have narrow side access, so we plan deliveries and materials accordingly. For period conversions, we can create lightweight metal beds or compact tiered beds that add impact without overwhelming the patio. We also match brick tones and coping details so new work sits comfortably alongside existing paths and walls.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and agree the look—modern, traditional, or somewhere in between. Beds are built on proper foundations, lined where needed, and filled with quality topsoil ready for planting. You’ll get clear options, a written scope, and a schedule that respects neighbours and access. Local clients choose us for reliable communication, clean workmanship and a finish that lasts.
In the London Borough of Southwark, access and parking can be tight, especially around Peckham Rye and Dulwich Village, so we plan drop-offs and waste removal carefully. Many East Dulwich plots have clay-heavy soil, which makes drainage and soil depth important—raised beds help plants thrive. We also account for party walls, mature trees and shared boundaries common to Victorian streets. Our designs balance practicality with a look that suits period brickwork and established gardens.

Costs vary by size, height, materials and access. As a guide, simple sleeper beds often start from around £450–£900 for a small run, while larger L-shapes or tiered beds are commonly £1,200–£3,000+. Brick or stone beds typically cost more due to foundations and labour, often £1,800–£5,000+. We’ll itemise materials, soil and waste removal so you can compare options confidently.
Most small raised beds can be installed in 1 day, including ground preparation and filling with topsoil. Medium projects with multiple beds, corner returns or integrated steps usually take 2–3 days. Brick or stone beds can take longer—often 3–5 days—because of footings, curing time and detailing. Timescales depend on access, waste removal routes, weather, and whether we’re also improving drainage or edging.
In most cases, raised flower beds and sleeper beds are permitted garden works and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary walls, building very high structures, or affecting trees with protection orders. We’ll flag anything that looks sensitive and can advise on best practice for drainage and neighbour boundaries. If approvals are needed, we’ll help you gather the right details.
Yes. Our raised bed builds come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering structural integrity such as fixings, alignment and stability when used as intended. We use appropriate liners, membranes and fixings to extend lifespan and reduce rot where timber meets soil. Natural materials will weather over time, but we build to minimise movement and premature failure. Warranty details are provided in writing with your project scope.
We build sleeper beds for a warm, natural look, plus brick beds that match period homes, stone beds for a premium finish, and metal beds for crisp contemporary lines. Designs include straight runs, L-shapes, tiered beds for slopes, and corner beds to reclaim awkward spaces. We can also create dedicated vegetable gardens with deeper soil and protective edging. We’ll recommend the best option based on style, budget, drainage and maintenance preferences.
