Timber sleepers are a practical way to add structure, levels and clean lines to gardens across CR0. We design and build raised beds, edging, steps and retaining walls that suit Addiscombe’s sloping plots and compact rear gardens. Whether you’re near Addiscombe tram stop or close to Ashburton Park, we’ll create a finish that looks crisp and performs year-round. Expect neat joints, solid fixings and careful alignment from the start.
Homes in Addiscombe range from Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses to 1930s semis, and each garden brings different constraints. We regularly work on side access routes, shared paths and narrow gates, keeping disruption low and neighbours considered. If you’re in East Croydon, Shirley or Woodside, we can match sleeper layouts to existing patios, lawns and planting schemes. Our aim is to make the garden feel more usable without overcomplicating it.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and the best sleeper specification for the job. You’ll receive clear options for new sleepers, reclaimed sleepers or durable oak sleepers, plus advice on finishes and fixings. We build on proper foundations, use appropriate membranes and drainage where needed, and leave the site tidy. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent communication and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, Addiscombe gardens often have changes in level and clay-heavy ground that benefits from proper drainage behind sleeper walls. We plan deliveries and waste removal around residential parking and narrower streets, and we’re used to limited access typical of terraces. Where boundaries are close, we build accurately to avoid encroachment and keep lines straight. Our timber sleepers Addiscombe area installations are designed to cope with year-round weather and regular use.

Costs depend on sleeper type, length, groundworks and whether you need drainage or steel supports. As a guide, simple edging or small raised beds often start around £400–£900. Larger raised beds, steps or seating areas commonly fall between £1,200–£3,000. Retaining walls with significant excavation and drainage can be £2,000–£6,000+. We’ll confirm a tailored range after a site visit in CR0.
Most edging and small raised-bed projects take 1 day, while larger beds with multiple tiers or integrated steps usually take 2–3 days. Retaining walls can take 3–5+ days depending on excavation depth, drainage requirements and access for materials. Weather and ground conditions can also affect timings, especially on clay soils. We’ll agree a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, sleeper edging, raised beds and garden steps are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, taller retaining walls, structures near highways, or work affecting drainage and boundaries can trigger extra rules. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, restrictions may apply. We’ll flag any concerns during the survey and advise if you should check with Croydon Council before proceeding.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our timber sleeper installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as movement from inadequate fixings, poor alignment, or insufficient foundations. Timber is a natural material and will weather over time, so colour change and surface checking aren’t defects. We also use suitable membranes, drainage and fixings to maximise lifespan. Product warranties on sleepers vary by supplier and specification.
We install new treated softwood sleepers for a clean, consistent look, reclaimed sleepers for character, and oak sleepers for a premium, long-lasting finish. Design options include single or tiered raised beds, curved or straight edging, integrated steps, and built-in seating. We can also incorporate gravel boards, weed membranes and drainage layers where needed. We’ll recommend the best option based on your garden levels, style and budget.
