Sleeper walls are a practical way to level changes in height, define borders and add structure to your garden. In Warlingham, we often use them to create neat raised beds and retaining walls that make sloping plots easier to use. Whether you’re near Warlingham Green or up towards Hamsey Green, we design the layout to look natural and keep soil securely in place. Every build is finished cleanly, with straight lines and well-compacted backfill.
Warlingham’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes calls for joinery that looks intentional rather than “added on”. We match sleeper sizes and finishes to suit traditional brickwork, rendered facades and modern extensions alike. For properties around CR6, we can create tiered planters, garden edging and seating that make outdoor space feel larger and more organised. If you want a softer look, we’ll blend curves and planting pockets into the design.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and the best fixing method for your ground. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, material choices and an honest budget range before we book a date. Our team works efficiently (typically 1–3 days), keeps access routes protected, and leaves the site tidy at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for careful setting-out, solid construction, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

For sleeper walls in Warlingham, most homeowners budget £150–£300 per metre depending on height, ground conditions and the amount of digging required. Typical projects come in around £800–£3,000 for raised beds, edging runs or a small retaining section. Costs rise for taller retaining walls, steps, complex shapes, drainage and disposal of spoil. We’ll measure on site and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most sleeper wall projects take 1–3 days, depending on length, height and how much excavation is needed. Simple raised beds or edging can often be completed in a day, while retaining walls with drainage, steps or multiple tiers usually take longer. Timescales can also be affected by access for materials, ground hardness, and whether old structures need removing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site visit.
