From compact courtyards near Lewisham station to family gardens by Mountsfield Park, raised beds are a practical way to add structure and colour. We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds that look sharp and last. Whether you want a productive vegetable garden or layered flower beds, we tailor the layout to your space. We regularly work across SE13 and surrounding streets with limited access.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments often calls for bespoke bed sizes and neat edging. In Ladywell and Hither Green, narrow side returns and long gardens benefit from tiered beds that create levels without losing lawn space. In newer builds around Lewisham Shopping Centre, clean-lined metal or brick beds can mirror contemporary paving. We design to complement your property, not fight it.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss planting goals, then propose a clear design and material options. Beds are built on stable footings with proper drainage and quality fixings, then filled with suitable topsoil/compost blends ready for planting. We keep the site tidy, manage waste responsibly and communicate throughout. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, crisp workmanship and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Many gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham have clay-leaning soil and variable levels, so we design beds with drainage layers and stable bases. Access can be tight in terrace streets around Lee and Blackheath, so we plan material deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where parking is restricted, we schedule efficiently and keep pathways clear. We also match bed finishes to existing paving, brickwork and boundary walls for a cohesive look.

Costs vary by size, height, materials and access. As a guide, simple sleeper beds often start around £250–£600 for smaller runs, while larger or tiered beds commonly fall in the £800–£2,000 range. Brick, stone or metal beds are usually higher due to foundations and labour, often £1,200–£3,500+. We’ll confirm a tailored estimate after measuring and discussing finishes and soil fill.
Most straightforward sleeper or small brick beds can be completed in 1 day, including excavation, base preparation and filling. Medium projects with multiple beds, corner beds or a vegetable garden layout typically take 2–3 days. Larger schemes with tiered beds, retaining elements, steps or complex groundworks may take 4–7 days. Timescales depend on access, spoil removal, curing time for masonry and weather.
In most cases, raised flower beds are permitted garden works and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if a bed becomes a retaining structure near a boundary, affects drainage, or is part of works to a listed building or within a conservation area. We’ll flag any risks during the survey and can advise on sensible heights, set-backs and construction methods to stay compliant in Lewisham.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering structural integrity and fixings when the beds are used as intended. This includes issues such as movement caused by poor base preparation or incorrect assembly. Natural material ageing, minor timber colour changes, and damage from impacts or alterations aren’t covered. We also recommend suitable liners, drainage and soil specification to help your beds perform long-term.
We offer sleeper beds for a warm, natural look, plus brick beds and stone beds for a more permanent, architectural finish. Metal beds suit modern gardens and can be ideal for slim borders. Design options include tiered beds for sloping gardens, corner beds to maximise awkward spaces, and dedicated vegetable gardens with practical widths for easy reach. We’ll help you choose based on style, budget, maintenance and planting plans across the raised flower beds and sleeper beds Lewisham area.
