Raised Garden Beds

Raised beds in cedar, stone and steel for vegetables, herbs and flowers, with good soil, paths and watering options.

Raised beds make gardening easier. The soil warms earlier, drains better and stays free of the heavy clay below, and the edge puts the plants at a comfortable height. Nashville owners add beds near patios and kitchens so herbs and vegetables are steps away. A good raised bed is built to last, filled with a mix that grows well and set where it gets enough sun.

Your designer finds the sunniest spot, plans bed sizes so you can reach the middle and lays out paths between beds. The crew builds beds of cedar, composite, stone or steel, lines the base to keep out weeds, fills them with a quality soil mix and sets up drip or hose access. The scope lists dimensions, materials, soil and paths. Start small and expand. A couple of well-placed beds close to the kitchen get used more than a large garden far away, and we design them so extra beds can be added later without changing the paths. Mulch on the paths, a compost corner and a spot for tools keep the garden tidy. We also suggest crops that grow well here, such as tomatoes, peppers, herbs and greens, and we share a planting calendar.

Sun and access

Most vegetables want six or more hours of sun, and beds are sized so you can reach the center without stepping in.

Durable materials

Cedar, stone, composite and steel hold up better than untreated softwood, and we explain the tradeoffs.

Good soil

A mix of topsoil and compost drains well and feeds plants, which gives better harvests than clay.

Paths and water

Gravel or mulch paths keep feet clean, and drip lines save time.
