Sleeper walls are a practical way to add structure to gardens across CR4, especially where lawns dip or borders need clearer definition. We build everything from retaining walls and raised beds to edging, steps and integrated seating. Near Mitcham Common and Figges Marsh, we often see gardens that benefit from better levels and more usable planting space. Our sleeper work is designed to look sharp and perform year after year.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means no two gardens are the same. We regularly design sleeper walls that suit narrower side returns, long rear gardens and sloping plots. Whether you want a crisp border line, a raised planter for easy maintenance, or a sturdy retaining wall, we tailor the build to your layout and access. If you’re comparing sleeper walls Mitcham area options, we’ll help you choose what fits your property and budget.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and what the wall needs to hold back. Then we set out accurately, install solid foundations and fix sleepers with the right posts and fasteners for long-term stability. We keep the job tidy, protect nearby paving and lawns, and finish with clean edges ready for soil, gravel or planting. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.

Most projects in Mitcham fall between £800 and £3,000 depending on length, height and complexity. As a guide, sleeper walls are typically £150–£300 per metre, with retaining walls and stepped sections towards the higher end due to extra posts, drainage and groundwork. Raised beds and simple edging are usually more cost-effective. We’ll confirm a tailored range after checking levels, access and finish choices.
Most sleeper wall installations take 1–3 days, depending on the number of metres, the height of the wall and whether it’s retaining soil. Jobs with steps, seating or multiple tiers take longer because they need careful set-out and additional fixing. Ground conditions and access also matter, especially if materials must be carried through the property. We’ll give a realistic schedule before we start.
Many garden sleeper walls are permitted development, particularly low edging and raised beds. However, rules can change if a wall is high, close to a highway, or forms part of a significant retaining structure. If your property is affected by restrictions or you’re near sensitive boundaries, extra checks may be needed. We’ll flag likely requirements and can help you understand what the London Borough of Merton expects before work begins.
Yes. Our sleeper walls come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including structural fixing and installation defects. This includes issues such as movement caused by incorrect foundations, poor fixing methods or inadequate drainage detailing. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural ageing of timber finishes over time. We also explain simple maintenance steps to help your sleepers stay looking their best.
We can build with new or reclaimed sleepers, depending on the look you want, and advise on treated timber options for longevity. Popular designs include straight edging runs, tiered raised beds, L-shaped planters, and retaining walls with integrated steps or seating. Finishes can be paired with gravel boards, paving, or planting schemes for a cohesive result. We’ll recommend the best layout after measuring levels and discussing how you use the space.
