Westminster gardens often need clever structure to make the most of compact footprints and changes in level. We install sleeper features that look at home near Westminster Abbey and the formal greenery of St James’s Park. Whether you want crisp edging, a raised bed for planting, or a small retaining wall, we build it to sit neatly within your existing layout. Expect tidy workmanship and finishes that complement stone paving and traditional brickwork.
In Victoria, Pimlico and SW1 mansion flats, outdoor space can be a terrace, courtyard or shared garden with strict access routes. We regularly work around Georgian townhouses, mansion blocks and luxury apartments, matching proportions and materials to the architecture. For clients who want a more characterful look, reclaimed sleepers bring instant patina; for sharper contemporary schemes, new sleepers give uniform colour and straight edges. Oak sleepers are a popular upgrade where longevity and a premium finish matter most.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage, and agree the best construction method for your design. Sleepers are set on a stable base, fixed with the right posts and galvanised fixings, then finished with clean cuts and aligned courses. We keep disruption low with planned deliveries and careful waste removal, which matters on busy Westminster streets. Every installation is backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
The City of Westminster brings tight access, controlled parking and busy delivery windows, especially around Whitehall and SW1. We plan logistics in advance, use compact equipment where needed, and protect communal routes in mansion blocks. Ground conditions can vary from made-up ground in courtyards to heavier clay pockets, so we choose appropriate bases and drainage details. Our designs also respect conservation-minded streetscapes, keeping lines crisp and materials sympathetic.

Costs depend on sleeper type, height, access and groundwork. As a guide, simple sleeper edging may start around £60–£120 per linear metre installed. Raised beds and small retaining walls typically range from £250–£700+ per metre run, depending on depth, drainage and fixings. Oak sleepers and complex steps or seating increase costs. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in Westminster.
Most sleeper edging and small raised beds can be completed in 1–2 days. Larger retaining walls, stepped gardens or integrated seating usually take 3–7 days, especially where excavation and drainage are required. Timescales are affected by access in the Westminster area, parking restrictions, and whether spoil needs to be carried through a property. We confirm a schedule before work starts and keep you updated daily.
Many garden features such as raised beds, edging and low retaining walls are usually permitted development. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, the work affects a boundary, or the wall height is significant and adjacent to a highway. In the City of Westminster, we also consider listed buildings and communal gardens. We’ll flag any likely constraints and can help you check requirements before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our sleeper installations, covering structural integrity, fixing methods and build quality when used as designed. This includes issues such as movement caused by incorrect construction or inadequate support. Natural timber characteristics and weathering are expected, and timber lifespan varies by species and exposure. We’ll advise on aftercare, drainage and finishes to maximise durability in Westminster gardens.
We install new sleepers for a consistent, contemporary look, reclaimed sleepers for character, and oak sleepers for a premium, long-lasting finish. Design options include raised beds, retaining walls, steps, crisp edging and built-in seating, with straight runs or gentle curves where space allows. We can also incorporate membranes, drainage gravel and concealed fixings for a cleaner finish. We’ll recommend the best option based on your layout, style and budget.
