Costs depend on sleeper type, height, and whether you need retaining-grade construction. As a guide, simple sleeper edging or small raised beds often start around £250–£600. Larger raised beds, steps or seating typically fall between £800–£2,000. Retaining walls with posts, drainage and membranes can be £1,500–£4,000+. New softwood is usually cheaper; oak sleepers and complex access can increase costs.
Most small projects, such as edging runs or a compact raised bed, are completed in 1 day. Medium builds—multiple beds, steps, or integrated seating—usually take 2–3 days. Retaining walls or multi-level terraces can take 3–7 days depending on excavation, spoil removal, drainage, and curing time for any concrete footings. Access, parking restrictions, and hidden services can also affect the schedule.
In many cases, raised beds, edging and small garden steps are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. Permission can be required if you’re building higher retaining structures near boundaries, altering ground levels significantly, or affecting drainage onto neighbouring land. If your property has restrictions (for example, certain estates or covenants), extra checks may be needed. We’ll advise at survey stage and can help you confirm requirements with Merton if necessary.
