New Malden has a mix of 1930s semis with long rear gardens, Edwardian houses with mature boundaries, and modern apartments needing compact, low-maintenance outdoor spaces. We regularly work on sloped lawns, narrow side access and shared pathways where materials and logistics matter. Our designs suit family gardens in Motspur Park as well as smaller courtyards around Raynes Park. We’ll recommend sleeper sizes and layouts that match your property style and how you use the space.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you want the garden to function. You’ll receive clear options for new sleepers, reclaimed sleepers or oak sleepers, plus guidance on finishes and longevity. We install on proper foundations with correct fixings, alignment and backfill for stability. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, careful working practices and results that stay solid.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, gardens often have clay-heavy ground and areas that hold water in winter, so we plan foundations and drainage accordingly. Access can be tight on 1930s plots, and parking near busy stretches like New Malden High Street can affect deliveries, so we schedule and size loads sensibly. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and mature trees common around Beverley Park. The result is timber sleepers New Malden area homeowners can rely on for stability and neat detailing.

Costs vary with sleeper type, height, groundwork and access. As a guide, simple edging or small raised beds often start from around £400–£900. Larger raised beds, steps or multi-tier retaining walls commonly fall between £1,200–£3,500+. Oak sleepers and complex level changes can increase costs, especially where spoil removal or drainage is needed. We’ll provide a detailed written estimate after a site visit.
Most small sleeper jobs (edging runs or one raised bed) take 1 day. Medium projects such as several beds, seating or a short set of steps usually take 2–3 days. Retaining walls and multi-level gardens can take 4–7 days depending on excavation, foundations, drainage and curing time for any concrete. Access, waste removal and weather can also affect the schedule.
Most garden sleeper features like raised beds, edging and small steps are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re creating a substantial retaining wall, altering levels near a boundary, or working on a listed building or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on safe construction, and help you check requirements with the council if needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our sleeper installations, covering issues such as movement caused by poor fixing, inadequate foundations or incorrect construction. Materials are also covered by the manufacturer or supplier’s terms, which vary between new, reclaimed and oak sleepers. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and it excludes damage from flooding, impact or unauthorised alterations after completion.
We can install new treated softwood sleepers for a clean, consistent look, reclaimed sleepers for character, or oak sleepers for premium durability. Design options include single or tiered raised beds, L-shaped planters, curved edging, sleeper steps, and built-in seating. We’ll help you choose sizes, heights and finishes to suit your planting, drainage and garden style, and ensure the layout works with your levels and access.
