Sleepers are a practical way to add structure, level changes and definition to Eastfields gardens. We build raised beds, retaining walls, steps and crisp edging that look right in both compact and larger plots. If you’re near Eastfields station or walking distance to Figges Marsh, we can usually survey quickly and start without delay. Every installation is set out carefully so lines stay straight and levels stay true.
The Eastfields area includes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, each with different access and garden proportions. We design sleeper features that maximise usable space, whether that’s a narrow side return, a long rear garden, or a modern patio layout. Many homeowners want low-maintenance borders and tidy transitions between lawn and paving. Our sleeper builds are tailored to your property’s style and how you use the garden.
We start with a site visit, discuss heights, drainage and finishes, then provide a clear written quote. Sleepers are installed on proper foundations with robust fixings to reduce movement and extend lifespan. We keep the site tidy, protect existing paving, and confirm levels before final fixing. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and a 10-year warranty on installation.
In the London Borough of Merton, gardens often have mixed ground and pockets of clay, so we allow for drainage and seasonal movement. Access can be tight around terraced rows in Mitcham and Streatham Vale, so we plan deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption. Where parking is limited near SW16 and CR4, we schedule efficiently and keep materials organised. Our designs suit both traditional plots and newer regeneration-era layouts.

Costs depend on sleeper type, height, and how much groundwork is needed. As a guide, simple sleeper edging may start from around £45–£90 per linear metre installed. Raised beds often fall between £350–£1,200+, depending on size and corners. Retaining walls and steps are more structural and typically start from £900–£3,500+. We’ll confirm a range after a site visit and measurements.
Most edging or a small raised bed can be completed in 1 day. Medium projects such as multiple beds or a short retaining run usually take 2–3 days. Larger retaining walls, steps, and complex layouts can take 4–7 days, especially if spoil removal is required. Timescales vary with access, cutting on site, drainage needs, and whether you choose new, reclaimed, or oak sleepers.
Most garden sleeper projects are permitted development, particularly raised beds, edging and low walls. Planning may be needed if you’re creating significant changes in ground level, building a taller retaining wall, or if the work affects a boundary next to a highway. Rules can also differ for flats or conservation-related constraints. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise what to check with Merton Council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as fixings, alignment and structural stability when used as designed. Materials are covered by the manufacturer or supplier terms, which vary between treated softwood, reclaimed stock and oak. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural weathering and colour change. We’ll explain care, expected movement, and maintenance to keep everything performing well.
We install new treated sleepers for a clean, uniform finish, reclaimed sleepers for character, and oak sleepers for premium durability and colour. Design options include single or double-height raised beds, curved or stepped layouts, integrated seating, and sleeper steps with anti-slip finishes where needed. We can also combine sleepers with gravel, paving or planting schemes. We’ll help you choose based on budget, lifespan, and the style of your garden.
