Raised Beds

Retaining walls are an excellent way of transforming a sloping garden, by creating more useable terraces.

We are able to construct a wide range of retaining walls incorporating a raised flower or shrub, depending on the style of your garden, using materials such as railway sleepers, natural stone and concrete blocks. Instantly adding interest and colour to your outdoor space. Raised beds can also be used as a screen to hide unsightly objects or simply to create a boundary in your garden

Raised beds avoid the need for digging and disturbing the existing soil structure. Not having to rely on the native soil in your garden can be a lifesaver if the soil you have is very compacted, stony, or contaminated.

For gardeners with limited mobility (or those wishing to reduce the potential for backache later in life), raised beds offer a clear benefit. While they are often built as low as 15cm (6in) high, raised beds can be built to any height that is comfortable for you. To reduce costs, you can partially fill the bed with rubble and top up the last 30-45cm (12-18in) with fertile soil.

The level difference provided by raised beds is also useful for making it clear to children and pets which areas are paths, and which must not be walked on.
