Putney gardens often need practical structure—especially near the River Thames towpath where levels and drainage can be tricky. Sleeper walls are a clean, natural-looking way to create retaining walls, raised beds and sharp garden edging. Whether you’re updating a courtyard off Putney High Street or reshaping a larger plot towards Putney Heath, we’ll design a layout that looks intentional and lasts. Our builds are suited to both contemporary and traditional planting schemes.
We regularly work across SW15, from East Putney to Roehampton, where gardens range from compact terraces to wider family plots. Victorian and Edwardian houses often have narrow side access and established planting to protect, while riverside apartments may need neat, low-maintenance planters and seating. We tailor sleeper sizes, wall heights and finishes to match the property style and how you use the space. The result is a garden feature that feels original to the home, not added on.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, ground conditions and access, then we confirm a clear specification and fixed scope. We install proper footings, drainage where required and secure fixings, so walls stay straight and stable through wet winters. Work is typically completed in 1–3 days with careful waste removal and a clean handover. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, precise workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the sleeper walls Putney area, access can be tight and parking controlled, particularly around Putney Bridge and busy residential streets. We plan deliveries, cutting and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep pathways clear. Ground conditions vary from compacted garden soils to made-up ground near older extensions, so we assess stability and specify footings accordingly. Where needed, we’ll also flag any London Borough of Wandsworth considerations before work starts.

For sleeper walls in Putney, budgets typically sit at £150–£300 per metre depending on height, ground conditions and whether it’s a retaining wall. Many homeowners spend around £800–£3,000 for a complete run with raised beds or edging. Costs can rise if excavation is deeper, access is restricted in SW15, or you add steps, seating or integrated planters.
Most projects take 1–3 days, depending on the length of wall, the amount of digging and whether drainage is required. A simple edging or raised bed can often be completed in a day, while retaining walls and stepped gardens take longer. Timescales can also be affected by access for materials, disposal of spoil, and curing time where concrete footings are needed.
In many rear gardens, sleeper walls and raised beds are usually permitted development, so planning permission isn’t normally required. However, rules can change if the wall is near a highway, forms a boundary, exceeds certain heights, or the property is listed or in a conservation area.
