Costs depend on size, materials and access. As a guide, a small sleeper or metal-edged bed might start around £350–£700, while larger beds or multiple runs are often £900–£2,500+. Brick or stone beds typically cost more due to foundations and labour, commonly £1,200–£4,000+ for substantial builds. Tiered beds, soil replacement and waste removal can also affect the total.
Most straightforward raised beds take 1–2 days to build, including base preparation and tidy-up. Larger projects with several beds, tiered levels or brick and stonework can take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access (side passage vs through-house), the amount of excavation, curing time for mortar, and whether you’re adding new topsoil, irrigation or planting as part of the job.
