Earlsfield gardens often need practical structure—whether you want a raised bed for planting or a retaining wall to manage a slope. Our sleeper walls create clean lines for edging, steps, seating and planters without losing usable space. We regularly work around Garratt Lane and close to Earlsfield station, so access and logistics are familiar. The result is a garden that feels more organised and easier to maintain.
With Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and many conversions across SW18, gardens can be compact, long and narrow, or split over different levels. We design sleeper walls that fit these proportions, keeping pathways clear and borders generous. If you’re improving a rear garden extension plot or refreshing a tired lawn edge, sleepers give a solid, natural finish. Homeowners in Wandsworth, Tooting and Southfields choose them for their versatility and warm timber look.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and what the wall needs to hold back. Then we specify the right sleeper size, fixings and foundations, and build with careful alignment for a sharp finish. You’ll get clear communication, tidy working practices and reliable scheduling—most jobs complete in 1–3 days. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty, and we’re only around 15 minutes away for aftercare.
Across the London Borough of Wandsworth, many gardens sit on made-up ground with mixed soil and tight side access. Near the River Wandle and around Wandsworth Cemetery, we pay close attention to drainage and ground stability for retaining sections. We plan deliveries and waste removal to suit SW18 parking restrictions and busy streets. Our designs suit period terraces and conversions, keeping lines straight and finishes sympathetic.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In the Earlsfield area, sleeper walls typically cost around £150–£300 per metre, depending on height, access and whether it’s retaining soil. Most projects come in at roughly £800–£3,000 for raised beds, edging runs or a small retaining wall with steps. Costs can rise if excavation is heavy, drainage is needed, or you want integrated seating and planters.
Most sleeper wall installations take 1–3 days, depending on the length, height and complexity. Simple edging or a couple of raised beds can often be completed in a day, while retaining walls, steps or multiple planters may take longer. Timescales are affected by excavation, disposal, ground conditions, curing time for concrete footings, and access for materials in SW18 gardens.
Many garden sleeper walls are permitted development, especially low raised beds and edging. However, rules can change if the wall is tall, close to a highway, affects drainage, or forms part of a boundary. In the London Borough of Wandsworth we’ll flag any likely constraints and advise on best practice. If permission or approvals are needed, we can help you gather the right details before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our sleeper wall installations, covering workmanship and structural integrity when used as intended. That includes correct fixing, alignment and stability for retaining sections built to our specification. Timber is a natural material, so cosmetic weathering and colour change over time aren’t faults, but we’ll advise on treatments and drainage to help extend lifespan and reduce movement.
We can build sleeper walls as retaining walls, raised beds, edging, steps, seating or planters, tailored to your layout. Options include different sleeper sizes, single or double courses, straight runs or gentle curves, and integrated caps for a cleaner top edge. We’ll discuss timber types and finishes, plus practical details like drainage and weed barriers. If you share photos and measurements, we’ll suggest a design that suits your garden and budget.
