Wimbledon gardens often need stronger definition—especially where levels change or borders have outgrown their edges. Our sleeper walls create smart retaining lines, raised beds and steps that suit everything from Wimbledon Village courtyards to larger plots near Wimbledon Common. We design for clean sightlines, comfortable heights and long-lasting stability. The result is a garden that looks intentional, not improvised.
Homes across SW19 and SW20 range from large Victorian houses and Edwardian villas to exclusive modern builds, and each comes with different access and layout challenges. We match sleeper wall proportions to period features—brickwork, paths and planting style—so the new timberwork feels like it belongs. For contemporary gardens, we keep lines sharp and detailing minimal. Whatever the property, we prioritise neat joins, consistent levels and a premium finish.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and agree the look you want, then provide a clear written quote. Our team prepares a solid base, installs posts and fixings correctly, and builds with careful alignment for strength and longevity. We keep disruption low with organised deliveries and a tidy site at the end of each day. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, high standards and a 10-year warranty.
Wimbledon plots often include level changes, mature tree roots and mixed ground conditions, so we assess stability and drainage before we build. Access can be tight around Wimbledon Village and near busy routes by the All England Lawn Tennis Club, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where parking is restricted, we schedule efficiently and keep materials organised on-site. We also consider boundary lines and neighbouring properties, common in Victorian and Edwardian streets.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In the Wimbledon area, sleeper walls typically cost £150–£300 per metre, depending on height, ground conditions and whether the wall is retaining soil. Most projects fall around £800–£3,000 for raised beds, edging runs, small retaining sections or a combination with steps/planters. Costs vary with timber grade, drainage requirements, access for materials, and any removal of old structures or spoil.
Most sleeper wall installations take 1–3 days, depending on the length, height and complexity of the design. Simple edging or a couple of raised beds can often be completed in a day, while retaining walls with drainage, steps or seating usually take longer. Timescales are affected by access, ground preparation, disposal needs, and whether we’re tying the wall into existing patios or paths.
Many garden sleeper wall projects are permitted development, particularly low edging and raised beds. Planning rules can apply if a wall is close to a highway, forms part of a front boundary, or exceeds certain heights, and listed buildings or conservation considerations may add constraints. In the London Borough of Merton we’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can advise on what to check before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our sleeper walls, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect installation, fixings failure, or poor base preparation. Timber is a natural material and will weather over time, but we use quality treated sleepers and build with correct spacing, drainage and support to maximise lifespan. We’ll also explain simple aftercare to keep the wall looking its best.
We can build with new treated softwood sleepers for a clean, consistent finish, or offer characterful reclaimed-style options where appropriate. Popular designs include straight retaining runs, curved raised beds, tiered planters, integrated steps, and sleeper seating. We’ll help you choose heights, coping details and planting widths that suit your garden and lifestyle. During the survey we’ll also advise on drainage and fixings for long-term stability.
