Fine Landscaping designs and builds raised beds that bring order, colour and practical growing space to Shirley gardens. Whether you want a neat sleeper border or a generous vegetable garden, we tailor the layout to your planting and maintenance needs. We regularly work near Shirley Windmill and around CR0, where gardens benefit from defined edges and improved soil depth. The result is a feature that looks sharp in every season and makes gardening easier.
Shirley’s mix of 1930s semis, detached homes and newer developments often comes with sloping lawns, narrow side access and family-friendly gardens. Raised flower beds and sleeper beds Shirley area homeowners choose are usually about gaining usable space without losing lawn for play. We create corner beds, tiered beds and long borders that suit patio lines and fencing runs. If you’re in Addiscombe or heading towards West Wickham, we’ll match the style to the property and keep it proportionate.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels, and agree a design that works with drainage and sunlight. Beds are built with proper foundations, straight lines, and robust fixings so they don’t bow or shift over time. We keep the job tidy, protect paths and lawns, and confirm planting depths and soil mixes before we leave. Homeowners choose us for raised flower beds and sleeper beds in London Borough of Croydon because we’re reliable, transparent, and finish to a premium standard.
Across Shirley and nearby Addington, we often find clay-heavy ground and mixed subsoil from older landscaping, so we allow for drainage and stable bases. Access can be tight on 1930s semis, so we plan material deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep driveways clear. Where parking is limited, we schedule efficiently and use manageable loads for side paths. We also design beds to complement existing patios and boundary lines common in CR0 properties.

Costs vary by size, material and ground preparation. As a guide, small sleeper or timber raised beds often start around £350–£800, while larger runs, tiered beds or premium finishes can be £1,200–£3,500+. Brick, stone or metal beds typically cost more due to materials and labour, especially if foundations and drainage are needed. We’ll provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit in Shirley.
Most single raised beds are completed in 1–2 days, including ground prep, construction and tidy-up. Larger projects—multiple beds, tiered layouts, or integrated vegetable gardens—usually take 3–5 days. Timescales depend on access, whether we’re removing old borders, the chosen material (brick and stone take longer), and any level changes. We’ll confirm a schedule before we start and keep you updated daily.
In most cases, raised beds within a rear garden are permitted and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a front garden, near a boundary, affecting drainage, or if the work forms a retaining structure on a significant slope. There may also be considerations for listed buildings or special designations. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise if you should check with Croydon Council.
