Raised Beds
Raised Beds Lincoln
These features provide structure, improve planting conditions, and clearly define planting areas, making them practical and visually strong. As experienced landscape gardeners in Lincoln, we design and build raised beds for gardens and outdoor spaces across the region. By lifting planting areas above ground level, drainage improves, soil control increases, and access becomes easier on sloped or uneven ground.
Timber sleepers offer a natural, cost-effective option with strong visual appeal. Rendered masonry walls provide a clean, contemporary finish with excellent durability. For a more refined look, tiled constructions create hard-wearing surfaces that complement patios and paved areas.
We assess ground conditions, height requirements, and layout before recommending the most suitable construction method. Through careful design and installation, the result delivers long-term structure, improved planting performance, and a well-finished feature built to last.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can raised beds be built from?
Beds can be constructed from timber, sleepers, brick, block, or stone. The best material depends on budget, appearance, and how long you want the beds to last.
Are raised beds good for drainage?
Yes. They improve drainage by lifting soil above ground level, making them ideal for gardens with heavy or poorly draining soil.
How deep should a raised bed be?
Most beds are 300–450mm deep, which is suitable for most plants. Deeper beds may be required for root vegetables or shrubs.
Do raised beds need maintenance?
They require occasional maintenance, such as topping up soil and checking for movement or rot, depending on the material used.
How much do raised beds cost?
The cost depends on the material, size, and ground preparation. Timber raised beds are usually the most affordable option, while brick, block, or stone beds cost more due to materials and labour. Bespoke designs and larger installations will increase the overall price.
