Sleepers are a practical way to add structure to Parsons Green gardens, especially where you want clear levels and tidy borders. We build raised beds, retaining walls, steps, edging and seating using quality timber that complements period planting schemes. Whether you’re near Parsons Green tube station or walking distance from Eel Brook Common, we design to suit the space you actually have. Expect neat lines, solid fixings and a finish that looks intentional, not improvised.
Homes around SW6 often include Victorian terraces, Georgian cottages and mansion flats with compact rear gardens and side returns. That mix calls for sleeper work that’s precise, space-efficient and sympathetic to existing brickwork and paving. We regularly work across Fulham, Walham Green and towards Putney Bridge, so we understand typical garden layouts and access limits. If your garden needs better levels or stronger borders, timber sleepers deliver a big visual upgrade without feeling overbuilt.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, and how the area is used day to day. Then we recommend the right build-up—posts, fixings, membranes and foundations—so the sleepers stay straight and secure. You’ll get clear options for new sleepers, reclaimed sleepers, or oak sleepers, with a written scope before work begins. Our team is trusted locally because we turn up when we say we will, keep the site tidy, and stand behind our workmanship.
In the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, gardens often sit on mixed ground with pockets of clay, so we allow for movement and water management. Access can be tight behind terraces and mansion flats, so we plan deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption. We also factor in local parking constraints and sensible working hours, especially near busier spots like The White Horse. The result is sleeper work that fits the property style and lasts through London weather.

Costs vary with sleeper type, height, and ground preparation. As a guide, simple sleeper edging may start around £40–£90 per linear metre, while raised beds often range from £350–£1,200 depending on size and corners. Retaining walls and steps typically cost more, commonly £900–£3,000+, due to posts, drainage and foundations. Reclaimed sleepers can reduce material costs, but may need extra selection and cutting.
Most edging and small raised-bed jobs take 1 day, while larger beds with multiple tiers often take 2–3 days. Retaining walls and sleeper steps usually take 3–5 days, depending on excavation, spoil removal and access through the property. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, the need for drainage, and whether we’re integrating lighting, paving edges or seating. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
Most garden sleeper projects—raised beds, edging and small steps—are typically permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, taller retaining walls, changes near boundaries, or work affecting drainage can sometimes trigger additional requirements. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, restrictions may apply to materials and appearance. We’ll flag any likely issues, advise on best practice, and help you check council guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty covering structural integrity of the build, including fixings, posts and construction methods used as specified. It’s designed to protect you against issues caused by poor installation, such as movement from inadequate foundations or incorrect bracing. Normal timber ageing, surface checking, and colour change from weathering aren’t faults, but we’ll advise on treatments to extend appearance and lifespan.
We install new sleepers, reclaimed sleepers and premium oak sleepers, depending on the look and durability you want. Popular designs include single- or double-tier raised beds, curved or stepped edging, sleeper steps with anti-slip finishes, and integrated bench seating. We can also add membranes, gravel boards, and drainage behind retaining walls for longevity. We’ll guide you on proportions, finishes and planting heights so the feature suits your garden and property style.
