Elmers End gardens often benefit from extra structure—especially where lawns meet paving or where borders have become tired and uneven. We design and build raised beds that bring order, improve drainage and make planting far easier. Whether you’re near Elmers End station or close to South Norwood Country Park, we’ll create beds that look sharp and perform in all seasons. Sleeper, brick, stone or metal—your choice, expertly installed.
Our team works across BR3 and nearby Beckenham, Penge and South Norwood, tailoring every bed to the property. Victorian terraces can need narrow, space-efficient corner beds; 1930s semis often suit long runs along fences; Edwardian houses look fantastic with brick beds that echo period detailing. We also build tiered beds to handle slopes and create planting height without losing usable garden space. The result is a garden feature that feels like it has always belonged there.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss planting goals and recommend the best construction method for your soil and layout. Beds are built on proper footings where needed, lined and filled correctly to protect timbers and ensure healthy roots. You’ll get clear specifications, tidy workmanship and straightforward aftercare advice.

Costs depend on size, height, materials and access. As a guide, simple sleeper beds often start around £300–£800 for small runs, while larger L-shapes or tiered beds are commonly £900–£2,500+. Brick or stone beds typically cost more due to foundations and labour, often £1,200–£4,000+ for substantial builds. We’ll confirm a tailored range after a site visit and design brief.
Most straightforward sleeper beds can be installed in 1 day, including levelling and lining. Larger projects—multiple beds, tiered layouts, or brick/stone construction—often take 2–5 days, sometimes longer if foundations need curing. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, the amount of excavation, and whether we’re importing topsoil or compost. We’ll give you a realistic schedule before work starts.
In most cases, raised flower beds and garden planters are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, the works affect drainage, or the bed forms part of a boundary wall or significant structure. We’ll flag anything that may need checking and can advise on practical ways to keep the design compliant. When in doubt, we recommend confirming with Bromley Council.
