If your garden needs structure, better drainage or more usable planting space, raised beds are a practical upgrade. We design and build sleeper beds, brick beds, stone beds and metal beds for homes across SE18, from Woolwich Town Centre to Plumstead. Whether you want a productive vegetable garden or a statement flower bed, we tailor the layout to your light levels and access. Many clients near Royal Arsenal choose clean-edged beds to complement paved courtyards and balconies.
Woolwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments, so one size never fits all. Terraced gardens often benefit from tiered beds to manage levels and create privacy. Courtyard spaces in newer developments suit slimline metal beds and corner beds that maximise planting without clutter. We also build durable sleeper beds for family gardens in Charlton and Abbey Wood where lawns and play areas need clear separation.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels, and discuss planting goals and maintenance. Every bed is built with solid foundations, proper fixings, and drainage considerations to reduce rot, bulging and waterlogging. You’ll get clear options on materials, edging and finishes, plus tidy workmanship and reliable scheduling. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, premium build quality, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across Woolwich and the wider Royal Borough of Greenwich, gardens can vary from compact paved courtyards to long terrace plots with level changes. We plan for access and parking constraints around Woolwich Town Centre and near the Woolwich Ferry, scheduling deliveries and waste removal sensibly. Where soil is heavy or drainage is slow, we incorporate free-draining sub-bases and suitable liners. We also match materials to local property styles, from Victorian brickwork to contemporary apartment landscaping.

Costs vary by size, height, material and site access in SE18. As a guide, small sleeper beds often start from £350–£700, while larger runs or tiered beds commonly fall between £900–£2,500. Brick or stone beds are usually higher due to labour and foundations, often £1,500–£4,000+. Metal beds can sit mid-range depending on finish. We provide a written estimate after a site visit.
Most single raised beds can be completed in 1 day, including ground prep and tidy-up. Larger projects—multiple beds, tiered layouts, or integrated paths—typically take 2–4 days. Brick and stone beds may take longer due to curing times and more detailed setting-out. Timescales are affected by access (common around Royal Arsenal), waste removal, weather, and whether we’re also supplying soil, compost and planting.
Raised flower beds are usually permitted in rear gardens and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering boundary walls, working in a listed building, or within a conservation area, and there may be restrictions on front garden works near highways. If your property is a converted historic building or close to protected features, we’ll flag any concerns. We can also advise on sensible heights and setbacks to avoid disputes.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our raised bed installations, covering structural integrity such as fixings, alignment, and build quality under normal use. It also includes issues caused by poor installation, like premature movement or bulging where our specification has been followed. Natural ageing of timber, plant performance, and damage from impact, flooding or unapproved alterations aren’t covered. We’ll explain care tips to maximise lifespan.
We build sleeper beds for a warm, natural look, plus brick beds to match Victorian terraces and stone beds for a more formal finish. For modern courtyards and balconies, powder-coated metal beds are popular and space-efficient. Design options include tiered beds for sloped gardens, corner beds to use awkward spaces, and dedicated vegetable gardens with neat edging and paths. We’ll help you choose heights, shapes and finishes based on sunlight, soil and maintenance preferences.
