If your borders are tired, uneven or hard to manage, raised beds add instant structure and make planting easier. We design and build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds for gardens across CR2, including near South Croydon station and Lloyd Park. Whether you want a productive vegetable garden or a showpiece flower bed, we tailor height, layout and edging to your space. The result is a cleaner finish and better growing conditions year-round.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, often with generous rear gardens and side access constraints. We regularly work in Sanderstead, Purley and around Croham Hurst Woods, where clients want beds that look sharp from patios and kitchen views. Raised beds are ideal for improving drainage on compacted lawns and creating defined planting zones in family gardens. We also build corner beds and tiered beds to make slopes and awkward angles practical.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss planting goals, then we propose a design and material options. We excavate properly, install stable footings where needed, and build straight, secure walls with tidy joints and fixings. Soil is layered for performance, and we can integrate weed membranes, irrigation points and edging details. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, we often find mixed ground conditions—compacted clay patches, tree roots and variable levels. In South Croydon, access can be tight on 1930s drives and along side returns, so we plan delivery sizes and waste removal carefully. We also consider parking restrictions and neighbour boundaries before excavation. Our approach keeps disruption low while ensuring beds stay level and stable through wet winters.

Costs vary by size, height, material and ground preparation. As a guide, simple sleeper beds often start from around £350–£900 for smaller runs, while larger or tiered builds commonly fall between £1,200–£3,000+. Brick, stone or metal beds can be higher due to materials and labour, typically £1,500–£5,000+ for feature installations. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in CR2.
Many straightforward sleeper beds can be completed in 1–2 days, including excavation, construction and backfilling. Larger projects—tiered beds, multiple sections, or brick and stone work—often take 3–7 days depending on curing times and access. Timescales are affected by soil conditions, root removal, drainage requirements, and how much spoil needs to be taken away. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
In most cases, raised beds and garden structures are permitted and don’t require planning permission, especially when they’re within your rear garden and not excessively high. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if works affect boundary walls, drainage, or shared access. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on checking with the London Borough of Croydon if needed before construction begins.
Yes. Our raised bed builds come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity, such as fixings, alignment and stability when used as intended. We use appropriate foundations and construction methods to reduce movement and premature failure. The warranty doesn’t cover neglect, impact damage, or natural weathering of timber finishes, but we’ll advise on treatments and maintenance to keep sleeper beds looking their best.
We build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds, with options for straight runs, corner beds, U-shapes and tiered beds for sloping gardens. Popular choices include chunky timber sleepers for a warm look, brick to match housework, and powder-coated steel for a crisp modern edge. We’ll help you choose heights for comfort, select soil mixes for flowers or vegetable gardens, and plan planting zones for year-round colour.
