Costs vary with sleeper type, height, and how much groundwork is needed. As a guide, sleeper edging and small raised beds often start from around £450–£900. Larger raised beds, steps or short retaining walls commonly fall between £1,200–£3,500. Reclaimed sleepers can be cheaper, while oak sleepers and engineered retaining solutions cost more. Access, waste removal, and drainage can also affect the total.
Most straightforward sleeper edging or a small raised bed can be completed in 1 day. Medium projects such as multiple beds, seating, or a run of steps typically take 2–4 days. Retaining walls and builds requiring excavation, drainage, or tricky access can take 4–7 days. Timescales depend on ground conditions, curing time for any concrete footings, and how easily materials can be moved through the property.

Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for timber sleeper installations, covering issues such as movement caused by incorrect base preparation, fixings, or construction methods. It applies when the feature is used as intended and not altered by others. Timber is a natural material, so colour change and minor surface checking are normal. We’ll advise on aftercare to maximise lifespan and keep everything stable.
We install new treated sleepers, reclaimed sleepers for a weathered look, and premium oak sleepers for a crisp, high-end finish.
