Orpington gardens often have awkward slopes, tired borders or lawns that don’t get used. We design and build raised beds that add structure and make planting easier, whether you’re near Priory Gardens or closer to The Walnuts Shopping Centre. Choose sleeper beds for a warm, natural look, or go for brick, stone or metal edging for a crisp finish. We also create vegetable gardens, corner beds and tiered beds to maximise space.
The Orpington area includes everything from 1930s semis to larger detached houses and newer estates, each with different access and layout challenges. We regularly work across BR5 and BR6, including Petts Wood and St Mary Cray, where front-to-back side passages and narrow gates can affect material handling. Our designs suit family life—clear paths, robust edging and beds that are easy to maintain. If you want productive planting, we can integrate vegetable beds with practical working heights.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss sunlight, drainage and how you want to use the space. You’ll get clear options on materials, bed heights and finishes, plus advice on soil build-up and planting. Our team builds with proper foundations and fixings so beds stay straight and stable through the seasons. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a finish that looks intentional rather than “added on”.
Across Orpington and the wider London Borough of Bromley, gardens can vary from free-draining sandy soils to heavier clay pockets that hold water. We adjust bed depth, drainage layers and soil mix to suit your plot, especially where lawns sit lower than patios. Access and parking around Orpington station and the High Street can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. For 1930s semis, we often design beds that work with narrower side returns and existing paths.

Costs depend on size, materials and ground preparation. As a guide, simple sleeper beds often start around £300–£800 for small runs, while larger or tiered sleeper installations can be £1,200–£3,000+. Brick or stone beds typically range from £1,500–£5,000+ due to foundations and labour. Metal edging is usually mid-range. We’ll confirm a tailored estimate after a site visit in BR5/BR6.
Most straightforward raised beds are completed in 1–2 days, including excavation and soil fill. Larger schemes—tiered beds, multiple corners, or integrated vegetable gardens—usually take 3–5 days. Timescales can extend if we’re dealing with significant level changes, restricted access through side passages, or if you choose brick/stonework that needs proper curing. We’ll set a clear schedule before starting and keep disruption minimal.
Raised flower beds are usually permitted garden works and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if a structure is unusually high, affects boundaries, alters drainage, or sits within a conservation area or near protected trees. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, newer estates with covenants), it’s worth checking. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and help you stay compliant in the London Borough of Bromley.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement, fixings and build integrity when the beds are used and maintained as advised. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. Natural products like timber sleepers will weather over time, but we build to reduce warping and movement. If anything doesn’t look right, we’ll inspect and put it right.
We build sleeper beds for a natural, contemporary look, plus brick beds that match existing housework, and stone beds for a premium finish. Metal beds and edging suit modern estates and crisp garden lines. Design options include tiered beds for slopes, corner beds to use awkward spaces, and dedicated vegetable gardens with practical working heights. We’ll help you choose based on style, budget, sunlight, and how you want to maintain and plant the beds.
