A well-built raised bed brings order and impact to Westminster gardens, from small patios in Victoria to courtyard spaces near St James’s Park. We design and install sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds that look right against period brickwork and contemporary finishes. Raised beds also make planting easier and help keep soil where you want it. Whether you want a flower border or a productive vegetable garden, we tailor the layout to your space.
The City of Westminster has a mix of Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments, often with limited outside space that needs to work hard. We regularly build corner beds and tiered beds to maximise planting without narrowing walkways. Where gardens overlook Whitehall or sit close to SW1 streets, we prioritise neat edges and discreet drainage solutions. Every bed is designed to complement the architecture rather than compete with it.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss planting goals, then recommend materials that match your budget and style. Our team handles ground preparation, weed suppression, drainage layers and quality topsoil so plants establish quickly. You’ll get clear scheduling and tidy working practices, important for Westminster access and shared entrances. Homeowners choose us for robust construction, clean finishes and dependable aftercare advice.
Westminster sites often mean narrow access routes, timed deliveries and controlled parking, especially around SW1 and busy streets near Westminster Abbey. We plan logistics in advance, use efficient cut lists, and keep materials stacked safely to minimise disruption. Many properties have older walls and hard landscaping, so we check levels, protect existing surfaces and build beds that sit true without stressing surrounding structures. Where needed, we incorporate drainage and liners to suit local ground conditions and enclosed courtyards.

Costs depend on size, material and access. As a guide, small sleeper or metal beds often start around £350–£900, while larger runs or tiered beds commonly fall between £1,200–£3,500. Brick or stone raised beds are typically higher due to foundations and labour, often £2,000–£6,000+. Disposal, soil, drainage layers and planting can be included as optional extras after a site visit.
Most single raised beds can be installed in 1 day, including preparation and soil fill. A set of multiple beds, tiered layouts or brick/stone construction usually takes 2–5 days. Timescales vary with access (stairs, lifts, narrow passages), curing time for mortar, and whether we’re removing existing paving or old borders. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule once measurements and logistics are agreed.
In many cases, raised beds within a private rear garden are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, front gardens, or works that alter boundary walls and railings. The City of Westminster also has practical constraints around skips, parking suspensions and delivery times. We’ll flag any likely permissions and help you check requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our raised bed installations. This covers issues caused by installation faults, such as structural movement from incorrect fixing, poor base preparation, or unstable construction. Natural weathering, plant-related problems and normal timber ageing aren’t covered, but we specify suitable materials and protective details to extend lifespan. If something isn’t right, we return promptly to inspect and put it right.
We build sleeper beds for a warm, contemporary look, plus brick beds that match period façades, stone beds for a premium finish, and metal beds for sharp modern lines. Popular designs include tiered beds for level changes, corner beds for compact patios, and dedicated vegetable gardens with deeper soil. We’ll advise on height, edging, liners and drainage, then recommend planting-friendly soil blends suited to your goals.
