Raised Beds
Raised Beds for Flowers or Vegetables
Raised beds are versatile and help to provide interest within the garden with height that you would not get from a traditional border. They work really well where the ground is poor and the garden is featureless but not only that they provide workable gardens for people who struggle to get down into a flower border or vegetable bed as they can be designed to a convenient height. Having even a small raised bed can add visual interest and a raised working area.
Raised beds often allow for earlier crop planting too as the soil drains and dries out faster and warms up much quicker than traditional beds this promotes a longer growing season and the opportunity to grow a wider range of plants and veg. Popular examples of this is the use of Olea europaea which can provide you with a wonderful year-round statement.
We Design Raised Beds to Meet Your Property's Needs
Raised flower or vegetable beds are perfect for gardens, patios, driveways and are strong and aesthetically appealing. Varying lengths, widths and depths can be designed allowing the space to grow whatever you wish from vegetables, herbs, shrubs and even trees. They can even be used as retaining features, keeping your land stable from degradation and subsidence with the aesthetics of shrubs and flowers rather than a retaining wall. This building method goes back right to medieval times.
Using sustainable, high quality sleepers has the advantages of long-lasting beds which are durable and offer a timeless style. But you can also use different materials and textures, perhaps reclaimed bricks to match your property or local stone. It’s all about making your garden more personal to you.
