Hayes (Bromley) is known for its semi-rural feel, large commons and a mix of period cottages, 1930s homes and larger detached houses. These gardens often have established planting, mature trees and varied ground levels that benefit from well-engineered sleeper features. We regularly work across West Wickham and Bromley Common, adapting details to suit traditional brickwork, patios and existing paths. The result is a sleeper wall that fits the character of the property rather than looking like an add-on.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and the best layout for steps, seating or raised beds. Our team installs solid footings, correct fixings and drainage where required, then finishes with clean edges and tidy clear-up. You’ll get clear communication, a written scope of works and practical advice on aftercare. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, predictable timescales and a premium finish that lasts.

Most projects fall around £800–£3,000 for raised beds, edging runs or small retaining sections.
