Whether you’re near Streatham Common or just off Streatham High Road, we can create clean garden edging, raised beds and neat boundaries that suit the property. They’re ideal for taming sloped lawns, defining patios, or building planters that make year-round planting easier. Expect a crisp finish that complements both traditional and modern outdoor spaces.
Streatham’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and newer apartments often comes with compact plots, long rear gardens and shared access routes. In Streatham Hill and SW16 streets, we regularly work around narrow side returns and existing paving levels. For SW2 homes closer to green spaces like Rookery Gardens, sleeper walls can help create terraces and seating areas without losing lawn. We tailor height, layout and drainage to the garden’s shape and how you use it.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground conditions and agree the best layout for retaining walls, steps or planters. Every build includes proper foundations, fixings and drainage where required, so the wall stays straight and stable. We keep disruption low with tidy working, clear timelines and careful waste removal. Homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Lambeth, we often find mixed ground and variable levels, especially in long rear gardens.

We also design around period property features—bay windows, basement lightwells and older drainage runs.

Most projects in Streatham fall within £150–£300 per metre, depending on height, excavation, and whether drainage or steps are needed. A small raised bed or short run of edging may start around £800, while larger retaining walls with multiple levels, seating or planters commonly land between £1,500 and £3,000. We’ll confirm measurements on site and provide a clear, itemised quote.
Typical installation takes 1–3 days, depending on the wall length, height and access to the garden. Simple edging or a single raised bed can often be completed in a day, while retaining walls with steps, seating or multiple tiers take longer. Timescales can also change if we uncover poor ground, need extra drainage, or have limited space for materials and removal.
In many cases, sleeper walls for garden edging or raised beds are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change for taller retaining walls, boundaries near highways, listed buildings, or conservation areas. We’ll talk through the proposed height and position, and we can advise when it’s sensible to check with Lambeth Council. Safety and compliance are always built into our design.
