Sevenoaks gardens often need practical structure as well as good looks, especially on sloping plots near Riverhead and around The Vine Cricket Ground. Sleeper walls are a versatile way to create retaining walls, raised beds and clean garden edging without losing space. They also make great steps, seating and planters for entertaining areas. We design each build to sit naturally with your paving, lawns and planting scheme.
From large detached houses to period properties and executive homes, Sevenoaks gardens tend to be generous and detail-led. We regularly work across TN13, TN14 and TN15, where clients want durable features that still feel refined. Sleeper walls can frame drive-side planting, define terraces, or add depth to long lawns. Our designs aim to look intentional, not like an afterthought.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then recommend the right sleeper type and fixing method. Every wall is set out accurately, built with proper ground preparation, and finished with crisp lines and clean joints. You’ll get a clear written scope, realistic timescales, and a workmanship-backed 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication and a site left tidy each day.

Most sleeper walls in Sevenoaks District fall within £150–£300 per metre, depending on height, ground conditions and the type of sleeper used. Typical projects come in around £800–£3,000 for raised beds, edging runs or small retaining sections. Costs can rise if you need deeper footings, drainage, steps, or removal of old structures. We’ll price after a site check and provide a clear breakdown.
Most installs take 1–3 days, with simple edging or a couple of raised beds often completed in a day. Retaining walls, steps or seating features usually take longer because we need careful setting-out, solid foundations and drainage. Timescales also depend on access for materials, disposal requirements, and whether we’re working around existing patios or planting. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep disruption minimal.
Many garden sleeper walls and raised beds are permitted development, especially when they’re not excessively tall and don’t affect boundaries or public highways. However, rules can change if the wall supports significant ground level changes, sits close to a road, or forms part of a front garden layout. If your property is listed or in a sensitive area, extra checks may apply. We’ll advise and help you confirm requirements before work begins.
Yes. Our sleeper wall builds come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering installation-related issues such as movement caused by inadequate fixing, poor ground preparation or incorrect drainage detailing. Timber is a natural product, so cosmetic weathering, minor surface checks and colour change are normal and not faults. We’ll explain care and expected ageing at handover. If anything looks off, we respond quickly and put it right.
We can build with treated softwood sleepers for a classic look, or specify hardwood sleepers where a denser finish is preferred. Designs range from straight edging runs to curved raised beds, tiered retaining walls, integrated steps, seating and planters. We’ll help you choose wall height, coping details and planting layouts to suit your garden and maintenance preferences.
