Sleeper walls are a practical way to tidy boundaries, create planting zones and manage changes in level without losing usable space. In Wallington, we regularly build retaining walls and raised beds for family gardens near Wallington Square and along SM6 streets.

Wallington has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer developments, and each brings different garden challenges. We often work with narrow side access, sloping lawns and patios that need clearer definition. For homes around Beddington and Hackbridge, sleeper planters and seating can add structure without major excavation. We design proportions and heights to suit your property and the way you use the garden day to day.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then provide a clear written quote and schedule. Our team installs sleepers with proper footings, fixings and backfill, so walls stay straight and stable through wet winters. We keep the site tidy, protect existing paving and lawns, and talk you through care and maintenance at handover. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timings, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens in the London Borough of Sutton often have mixed ground conditions and pockets of heavy clay, so drainage behind retaining sleeper walls matters. In Wallington, access can be tight on 1930s semis, and parking near Wallington station can affect deliveries and waste removal. We plan material drops, cutting areas and spoil removal to keep disruption low. Every build is set out to suit your boundaries, levels and existing patios or paths.

For sleeper walls in Wallington, budgets typically fall between £150–£300 per metre depending on height, ground conditions and whether the wall is retaining soil. Most homeowners spend around £800–£3,000 for a complete job including materials, excavation, fixings and waste removal. Added features such as steps, seating or integrated planters will increase the overall cost, as will difficult access or significant level changes.
Most sleeper wall projects take 1–3 days from start to finish, depending on length, height and the amount of digging required. Simple garden edging or a small raised bed can often be completed in a day. Retaining walls, steps and multi-level layouts usually take longer because we need accurate setting-out, proper footings and drainage. Access, weather and disposal of spoil can also affect the timeline.
Many garden sleeper walls are classed as permitted development, especially low walls used for edging or raised beds within the rear garden. However, rules can change if the wall is near a highway, forms part of a boundary, or is unusually tall—particularly where safety is a concern. In the London Borough of Sutton we’ll advise on likely requirements and, if needed, help you check guidance or apply through the correct channels before work begins.
