Biggin Hill gardens often need practical level changes without losing their semi-rural feel. Our sleeper walls create crisp boundaries for lawns and patios, plus robust retaining walls for sloped plots near Valley Recreation Ground and the lanes out towards Cudham. Whether you want raised beds for easier planting or tidy garden edging, we build with careful alignment and drainage in mind. We also integrate steps and seating where space allows.
Homes in the TN16 postcode include large detached houses, bungalows and period properties, many with generous plots and mixed ground levels. We design sleeper walls to complement traditional brickwork, established planting and long driveways, keeping proportions right for bigger gardens. For properties around Aperfield and Berry's Green, we can create raised planters and terraced beds that make maintenance simpler. The result is a garden that looks intentional, not pieced together.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, soil conditions and the best layout for retaining or edging. Every build uses suitable fixings, treated sleepers, and a proper base, with drainage where required to protect the structure. We keep disruption low, plan deliveries and access, and leave the site clean and safe each day. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication, and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Biggin Hill plots can be sloped and exposed, so we factor in wind, run-off and ground movement from the start. Access can be tighter on rural lanes around Cudham and Berry's Green, so we plan deliveries and parking to minimise disruption. We also consider nearby boundaries and sight lines, especially where sleeper walls act as retaining structures. Our approach suits larger detached homes and period gardens common across TN16.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For sleeper walls in the Biggin Hill area, budgeting around £150–£300 per metre is a sensible guide, depending on height, ground conditions and whether it’s retaining or decorative edging. Typical projects often come in at £800–£3,000 for raised beds, planters, steps or short retaining runs. Costs can increase if excavation is heavy, access is restricted, or drainage and reinforcement are required.
Most sleeper wall projects take 1–3 days, depending on length, height and the amount of digging required. Simple garden edging or a small raised bed can often be completed in a day. Retaining walls, steps, or integrated seating usually take longer because we need to set a solid base, install fixings accurately and add drainage. Wet weather, difficult access and spoil removal can also affect timescales.
Many garden sleeper walls are permitted development, particularly low edging, raised beds and planters within your boundary. However, rules can change if the wall is tall, acts as a boundary feature, sits near a highway, or affects visibility and safety. In the London Borough of Bromley we’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check constraints before work starts, especially for retaining walls and front garden changes.
Yes. Our sleeper wall workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty. This covers installation-related issues such as movement caused by inadequate fixing, poor base preparation, or incorrect construction methods. Timber is a natural material, so cosmetic changes like weathering and colour variation are normal, but we’ll always specify suitable treated sleepers and build with drainage where needed. We also provide care guidance to maximise lifespan.
We can build straight or curved sleeper walls, with options for retaining walls, raised beds, planters, steps, seating and crisp garden edging. Most clients choose treated softwood sleepers for value and a natural look, while some prefer hardwood for extra density and longevity. We can add gravel boards, caps, or integrate lighting and planting pockets. We’ll help you choose a design that suits your garden levels, style and maintenance preferences.
