A well-built raised bed transforms how your garden looks and how you use it, from tidy borders to productive vegetable plots. We design and install sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds with crisp lines and long-lasting structure. Homeowners around Streatham Common and Streatham Hill often want more planting space without losing lawn or patio area. We’ll shape beds to fit awkward corners, slopes and existing paths.
Streatham’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and newer apartments calls for thoughtful detailing. Period properties near Streatham High Road often suit brick or stone beds that echo original materials, while contemporary gardens can look sharp with powder-coated metal edging. Where space is tight, tiered beds and corner beds add impact without crowding the layout. We also create compact vegetable gardens for SW16 and SW2 courtyards and side returns.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, discuss planting goals and check levels, drainage and access. We specify the right foundations, fixings and liners, then build square, level and ready for soil and planting. You’ll get clear options and a tidy, scheduled install, with workmanship backed by our guarantee. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication and finishes that stay straight season after season.
Across Streatham Park and Streatham Vale we often encounter compact plots, shared access routes and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions can vary, so we prepare stable bases and manage drainage to prevent waterlogging. We also design around mature trees and established borders, common near Rookery Gardens. Our detailing suits both period brickwork and modern finishes, keeping everything consistent with the property.

Costs depend on size, height, materials and access. As a guide, simple timber sleeper beds often start from around £300–£700 for small runs, while larger or tiered layouts commonly fall between £900–£2,500+. Brick or stone beds can be £1,200–£4,000+ depending on foundations and finishes, and metal beds typically sit mid-to-high range. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most small raised beds can be installed in a day, including base preparation and tidy-up. Larger sleeper layouts, tiered beds or multiple beds for a vegetable garden usually take 2–4 days. Brick and stone beds can take longer due to curing times and more intricate groundwork, often 3–7 days. Timescales vary with access, removal of old edging, ground levels, and whether you’d like soil, compost and planting included.
Raised flower beds and sleeper beds are usually permitted in rear gardens and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, your property is listed, or the work affects a boundary wall, shared structure or front garden appearance. If drainage routes or retaining structures are involved, extra care is needed. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise if you should check with Lambeth Council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for raised beds, covering issues such as structural movement caused by installation faults, fixings failing, or beds going out of level due to poor base preparation. The warranty doesn’t cover normal weathering, changes caused by third-party alterations, or damage from tree roots and extreme events. We also use quality materials and proven construction methods to maximise lifespan and stability.
We build sleeper beds for a warm, natural look, plus brick beds and stone beds to complement period homes. For a crisp contemporary finish, metal beds (often powder-coated) work well and keep edges precise. Design options include tiered beds for sloping gardens, corner beds to use awkward spaces, and dedicated vegetable gardens with practical heights. We’ll help you choose based on style, budget, maintenance preferences and what you want to grow.
