Outdoor Electrics and Raised Beds
Project Overview
This couple had already created a beautiful home and garden, with stylish interiors and a long outdoor space perfect for entertaining. Their garden was well used and well loved, and they were looking for a few finishing touches to help support their passion for growing vegetables and hosting family and friends.
We helped them complete their outdoor space by installing bespoke raised beds, subtle outdoor electrics, and climber supports, all designed to blend in and grow with the garden.
The Challenge
The clients already had wooden veg beds in place, but over time they had started to rot and lose structure. They wanted new, more durable raised beds that would fit the scale of the garden and make planting easier to manage.
At the same time, they wanted to power a few outdoor features. These included sockets for lighting and music, as well as support for their wisteria, which was starting to climb across the back of their Victorian home and patio area. Everything needed to feel clean, minimal, and integrated, no fuss, just useful upgrades that matched the beauty of the space.
What We Did
We began by clearing away the original wooden beds and preparing the ground for new ones. Three raised beds were built from sleepers, each carefully lined to help delay rot and maximise lifespan. Their scale and layout were planned around the couple’s existing garden design and planting habits.
We also fitted a double outdoor socket, this provided convenient power access for garden tools, lighting, and entertainment. A spur was installed in the garage to feed a second socket at the far end of the garden, creating full coverage across the space.
Finally, we installed climbing hooks and wire to help train wisteria over the patio. These were chosen and placed to support healthy growth while staying discreet and in keeping with the house’s aesthetic
The Result
These small upgrades had a big impact on how the garden works day to day. The new beds feel strong, clean, and purposeful, while the added power points make hosting and caring for the garden far more convenient. The climbing supports are now helping the wisteria shape the outdoor space naturally and beautifully.
For this couple, the garden is where they spend much of their time. These details brought new ease and enjoyment to a space that already felt like home.
