Fulham gardens often need smart, space-saving structure—especially around Parsons Green and near Bishops Park. Timber sleepers are ideal for creating crisp raised beds, durable edging and tidy level changes without losing valuable planting space. We design and install sleeper features that complement Victorian terraces and contemporary riverside apartments alike. Expect neat finishes, accurate levels and planting-ready results.
We regularly work across SW6, including properties close to Fulham Broadway and the riverside near Craven Cottage. Many gardens here are long and narrow, with shared boundaries and limited side access, so buildability matters as much as design. Sleeper retaining walls and steps can make sloped lawns usable, while sleeper seating adds function without clutter. Our team tailors each build to the proportions and character of your home.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you want to use the space. Every installation is set out carefully, with solid foundations, correct fixings and attention to longevity. We keep disruption low, protect paving and planting, and leave the site clean and safe. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the timber sleepers Fulham area, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, shared walls and long rear gardens typical of SW6 terraces. Ground conditions vary from made-up soils to heavier clay, so we set proper bases and allow for drainage behind retaining walls. We also check any local constraints relevant to timber sleepers in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham before work begins.

Costs depend on sleeper type, height, access and how much groundwork is needed. As a guide, simple sleeper edging or small raised beds often start from around £400–£900. Larger raised-bed runs, steps or low retaining walls commonly fall between £1,200–£3,500. Oak sleepers, complex levels, drainage and restricted access can increase budgets to £4,000+ for bigger builds. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most small jobs—edging, a single raised bed or short seating run—take 1 day. Typical Fulham gardens needing multiple raised beds, steps or a modest retaining wall are usually 2–4 days. Larger projects with significant excavation, drainage, or several level changes can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access routes, skip/permit arrangements, ground conditions, and whether you’re combining sleepers with paving or new planting.
Most garden sleeper features such as raised beds, edging and low retaining walls are usually permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering boundary treatments, building close to a highway, working on a listed building, or creating higher retaining structures that affect neighbouring land. We’ll advise on sensible limits, check any local constraints, and recommend contacting the council if the design falls into a grey area.
Our timber sleeper workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty. This includes installation-related issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, loose fixings, or structural failure of the sleeper build. Natural weathering, changes in colour, and normal timber checking (small surface splits) are not faults. Where appropriate, we also pass on manufacturer guidance for treated new sleepers and advise on maintenance to maximise lifespan in exposed gardens.
We install new treated softwood sleepers, characterful reclaimed sleepers, and premium oak sleepers for a more refined look. Popular designs include tiered raised beds, sleeper steps with compact risers, retaining walls with drainage, lawn and gravel edging, and integrated seating. We’ll help you choose based on budget, desired finish, longevity and how the feature will sit alongside paving and planting. Samples and layout sketches can be provided during planning.
