FAQs
-
The lifespan of your raised garden bed depends on the material and how well you care for it. Timber raised garden beds typically last around 10–15 years, depending on the type of wood and whether it is regularly maintained, natural, or treated. Steel raised garden beds are built to last longer, usually 15–25 years, with very little maintenance. Choosing the right material for your garden will help ensure your raised beds remain strong and functional for many years.

Yes! Raised garden beds provide many benefits over traditional in-ground planting, especially for veggie gardens. They allow you to control the soil quality, making it easier to grow healthy vegetables, herbs, and flowers. They also improve drainage, reduce soil compaction, and make weeding simpler. Raised beds are easier on your back because they reduce bending, and they help your plants grow stronger by keeping pests and weeds at bay.

The right soil mix is key to a healthy garden. We recommend using a combination of garden soil, compost, and organic matter for the best results. This mix helps retain moisture, provides nutrients for your plants, and improves overall soil structure. At DCM Property Maintenance, we can also supply and fill your raised garden beds with high-quality soil, so you don’t need to worry about sourcing or transporting it yourself. Using the right soil in your raised bed ensures your vegetables, herbs, and flowers grow strong, healthy, and productive all year round.

Yes, raised garden beds can help reduce the number of pests in your garden. By elevating your plants, they are less accessible to some common crawling pests and weeds. You can also add protective covers or netting more easily on a raised bed. This makes raised garden beds an excellent option for gardeners who want to protect their plants while maintaining a neat, organised garden space.
