Chiswick gardens often need stronger definition between lawns, patios and planting—especially around Chiswick High Road properties with compact rear plots. Timber sleepers create crisp edges, practical steps and sturdy retaining walls without losing the area’s relaxed, village feel. We design sleeper features that complement brickwork, paving and mature planting. Expect tidy lines, comfortable access and a finish that looks right at home near Chiswick House.
We regularly work with Georgian houses, Victorian villas and Edwardian family homes where outdoor space must be both beautiful and functional. Many plots benefit from sleeper raised beds to improve drainage and make planting easier to maintain. For larger gardens near Kew or Gunnersbury, sleepers can also define zones for dining, play and borders. Our team understands how to match proportions and materials to period details and existing hard landscaping.
We start with a site visit, levels check and clear recommendations on layout, fixings and drainage. Every build uses proper foundations, concealed supports where possible, and robust fixings to reduce movement over time. We keep disruption low with careful deliveries and clean working practices, then walk you through aftercare. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, workmanship you can see, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the timber sleepers Chiswick area, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal around local restrictions. Ground conditions vary from compacted subsoil to made-up garden layers, so we assess stability and add drainage behind retaining walls. For homes around W4, we also consider boundary lines, neighbour proximity and existing paving levels. If needed, we’ll align designs with local expectations in the timber sleepers in London Borough of Hounslow setting.

Costs vary with sleeper type and build complexity. As a guide, sleeper edging may start around £60–£120 per linear metre installed. Raised beds commonly fall between £500–£2,000 depending on size, height and access. Retaining walls and steps are more involved, often £1,200–£4,500+, especially where drainage, steel supports or significant level changes are required. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small edging or a simple raised bed can be completed in 1 day. Medium projects—multiple beds, steps, or a short retaining wall—typically take 2–4 days. Larger builds can run 1–2 weeks, especially if we’re reshaping levels, adding drainage, or working around limited access and delivery windows. Weather, ground conditions and curing time for concrete footings can also affect the schedule.
Most garden sleeper projects are permitted development, such as raised beds, edging and low walls. Planning can come into play if a retaining wall is close to a highway, unusually high, or if your property is listed or within a conservation area near places like Hogarth’s House. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey, advise on sensible heights and drainage, and help you check any local requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our sleeper installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by poor fixing, inadequate foundations, or incorrect construction. It also includes defects in installation that lead to premature failure under normal garden use. Natural timber weathering, colour change, and minor seasonal movement are expected, but we’ll explain how to minimise these with correct drainage, fixings and aftercare.
We install new treated sleepers, reclaimed sleepers for a more aged look, and oak sleepers for a premium finish. Popular designs include L-shaped raised beds, tiered planters on slopes, sleeper steps with gravel or paving inserts, and integrated seating. We’ll help you choose the right thickness, height and fixing method for safety and longevity, and we can match the design to your paving, planting style and garden layout.
