Raised Beds
Bespoke, high-quality raised beds constructed specially to fit your garden and requirements.
As well as the useful benefits to raised beds, they can be an attractive addition to any garden by adding height, colour and interest. Hartnell Gardens can build you a high-quality, custom-built planter, for your budget and space.
We can construct timber beds with hidden fixings to enhance the aesthetic appearance, as well as supply and install galvanised beds that look great in a modern or Mediterranean-style garden.
Not just for growing vegetables
Flowers For The House
Cut-Flower Beds
Beautiful flowers for your house without stripping your garden of colour, a dedicated raised bed will warm up quicker, which can allow for a longer growing season.
We will design a planting plan for the most suitable cut flowers throughout the year.
Sloping Gardens & Screening
Change of Level
A great way to add colour and height to the edge of a slope or to screen off unsightly views or features using plants and trees.
Raised beds can also create height and interest in a flat garden, or used to protect against steep drops or edges
Pest Control
Plant Protection
When you grow vegetables in a raised bed, it is much easier to attach bed liners, copper tape, and netting to prevent damage.
A greater plant density can be achieved without the need for walkways, preventing soil compaction.
