Timber sleepers are a practical way to add structure, levels and usable planting space to Brockley gardens. We build raised beds, retaining walls, edging and steps that look at home near Hilly Fields and around Brockley Market. Whether you want a neat boundary for a front garden or a tiered layout for a sloping plot, sleepers create clean, durable lines. Our builds are designed to handle year-round weather and everyday use.
Brockley’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with long, narrow gardens and tricky level changes. We regularly work across Honor Oak, Crofton Park and New Cross, tailoring sleeper layouts to suit access routes and existing paving. If you’re after timber sleepers Brockley area solutions that maximise planting without losing patio space, we’ll propose options that fit your lifestyle. Expect thoughtful detailing that complements period brickwork and mature borders.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you use the space. Then we recommend the right sleeper type, fixings and foundations, and provide a clear written quote. Our team works tidily, protects surrounding surfaces and finishes with accurate alignment and secure anchoring. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, skilled workmanship and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Many SE4 gardens have clay-heavy soil and shaded sections from mature trees, so we design sleeper structures with drainage and airflow in mind. Access can be tight behind terraces, and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider boundary lines, party walls and existing brickwork typical of Brockley’s period streets. If you need timber sleepers in London Borough of Lewisham installed with minimal disruption, we schedule efficiently and keep neighbours in mind.

Costs depend on sleeper type, height, groundworks and access. As a guide, simple edging or small raised beds often start from around £400–£900. Larger raised beds, steps or seating features are commonly £1,200–£3,000. Retaining walls with proper footings, drainage and reinforcement can range from £2,000–£6,000+. We’ll survey your garden and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most small sleeper jobs (edging or a compact raised bed) take 1 day. Medium projects such as multiple beds, steps or integrated seating typically take 2–4 days. Larger retaining walls can take 4–7 days, especially if excavation, drainage runs or spoil removal are required. Timescales depend on access, soil conditions, weather, and whether we’re working around existing patios, fences or planting you want to keep.
In many cases, raised beds, edging and garden steps are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, taller retaining walls, structures close to boundaries, or works that affect drainage or protected trees can trigger extra requirements. If your property is a conversion or near a conservation area, rules can be stricter. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and advise if you should check with Lewisham Council before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect fixing, inadequate foundations, or poor alignment. It also includes defects in our construction of steps, seating and retaining structures when used as intended. Timber is a natural material, so cosmetic changes like weathering, small splits or colour variation are normal. We’ll also advise on care to extend lifespan.
