Banstead’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and executive homes often comes with generous plots and changes in level. Sleeper work is ideal for defining patios, separating lawn from beds, or creating a kitchen-garden area without losing space. In SM7, we regularly see gardens that benefit from stronger retaining edges and tidy transitions between zones. Our designs keep proportions right for wider lawns and larger planting schemes.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then propose a layout that fits your garden and budget. Every wall is built with proper ground preparation, fixings and drainage where needed, so it stays true and stable. We keep disruption low, protect existing paving and lawns, and leave the site clean at the end of each day. Many clients choose us for sleeper walls Banstead area because we’re punctual, transparent, and consistent with workmanship.

Designs are tailored to the scale of SM7 homes, from broad borders to multi-tier terraces.

Straight garden edging is usually at the lower end, while taller retaining walls with drainage, steps or planters sit higher. Most homeowners spend around £800–£3,000 for a complete section or a set of raised beds. We’ll confirm costs after a site survey.
Most sleeper wall projects take 1–3 days, depending on length, height and site access. Simple edging or a couple of raised beds can often be completed in a day, while retaining walls with drainage, steps or multiple tiers take longer. Timescales can be affected by excavation depth, disposal requirements, and working around existing patios, trees or services. We’ll provide a clear schedule before work begins.
Many garden sleeper walls are permitted development, particularly low edging and raised beds. However, rules can change if a wall is near a highway, forms part of a boundary, or reaches certain heights—especially for retaining structures. If your property has restrictions (for example, listed status or a conservation area), extra checks may be needed. We’ll flag any likely issues early and help you understand what applies before installation.
Yes. Our sleeper wall builds come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity when installed as specified (including correct fixings, foundations and drainage where required). This means you’re protected against issues such as premature movement caused by poor installation. Normal wear, accidental damage, and changes caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We also provide care guidance to help maximise lifespan.
We can build sleeper walls using treated softwood sleepers or hardwood options, depending on the look and expected lifespan you want.

Finishes can be kept rustic or made crisp with consistent heights and clean corners. We’ll help you choose a layout that suits your garden levels, planting plans and budget.
