Sleepers are a practical way to add levels, definition and usable space to gardens around Eden Park station and Kelsey Park. We design and install raised beds, retaining walls, steps, edging and simple seating that look natural and stay solid. Whether you need to manage a slope or tidy up borders, sleepers provide a crisp finish with minimal maintenance. Work is planned to suit BR3 plots and existing patios, lawns and planting.
Eden Park has a mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and characterful Edwardian properties, often with long rear gardens and side access. We tailor sleeper layouts to typical boundary lines, mature planting and practical storage needs. If you’re in Beckenham, West Wickham or Elmers End, we can match new timber to existing fencing and decking tones. The result is a garden feature that feels original to the property rather than “added on”.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and agree a clear design. You’ll receive a written scope covering materials, fixings and how we protect nearby paving and planting. Our builds use proper footings, concealed fixings where suitable, and weed-control layers behind edging and beds. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts through seasons.
Gardens in the timber sleepers eden park area often have mixed ground and pockets of clay, so we allow for drainage and stable bases. Access can be tight on some BR3 driveways and side passages, so we plan deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption. We also consider nearby trees and established borders common around Kelsey Park and the Bethlem Royal Hospital grounds. Where needed, we’ll advise on sensible heights and boundary positioning to keep everything compliant and neighbour-friendly.

Costs vary with sleeper type, height, ground prep and access. As a guide, simple edging using new treated sleepers may start around £60–£120 per linear metre installed. Raised beds commonly range from £450–£1,500 depending on size and depth, while retaining walls and steps can be £1,200–£4,000+ where excavation and drainage are required. Oak sleepers and premium finishes typically increase budgets.
Most sleeper edging or a small raised bed can be completed in 1 day. Larger builds such as multi-tier raised beds, steps and retaining walls usually take 2–5 days, depending on excavation, spoil removal and curing time for footings. Timelines are also affected by access (narrow side passages), the number of cuts and corners, and whether we’re integrating drainage or lighting.
Many garden sleeper features are permitted development, especially low edging and raised beds. Planning may be needed if a retaining wall is close to a highway, exceeds certain heights, or affects drainage, boundaries or listed/heritage considerations. Rules can also change if your property has restrictions. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and, if required, help you gather the right information before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our sleeper installations, covering issues such as movement caused by incorrect fixing, poor base preparation or faulty construction. Materials are supplied to manufacturer specifications, and we’ll advise on the expected lifespan of new treated, reclaimed and oak sleepers. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural weathering such as colour change and surface checking.
We install new treated softwood sleepers for crisp, uniform lines, reclaimed sleepers for a weathered look, and oak sleepers for a premium, long-lasting finish. Popular designs include tiered raised beds, L-shaped seating, sleeper steps with gravel treads, and clean edging around lawns or paths. We’ll help you choose based on style, budget, drainage needs and how the feature will sit alongside existing patios, fencing and planting.
