1. What Kind of VEG Bed Suits You?

The first decision to make is whether you'd like our rough-sawn cypress, our top shelf cypress, or our steel beds.  Have a look at the photos, click on whichever tickles your fancy and you'll be taken to the appropriate part of this page.

Note that we can make any of our beds in almost any length, width and height.  If you want a non-standard bed just email us the specs and we'll have a quote back faster than you can catch a worm and feed it to your chooks.

VEG Cypress Rough Sawn

These beds are built by us on site from untreated, naturally long-lasting cypress macrocarpa sleepers.  They look, feel and smell great, and we can make them with different angles and in different shapes to fit your space if necessary.  The prices below are for some fairly common sizes, but if you email or call us with different specifications we'll have a price back to you before you can whip up a green smoothie.  ANNOUNCEMENT!!! We now offer a pre-cut kitset option where you get the sleepers precut and the screws you need to assemble the bed yourself (assembly instructions included)!

Cypress Top Shelf VEG Beds

These are the best looking Cypress Vegie beds we know of in Australia.  Made from the same cypress as the Rough Sawn VEG Beds, these are additionally molded, dressed and then pre-fabricated off-site (we're talking seamless joins using hidden stainless steel biscuits) before being stained on the outside with a waterproofing agent to maintain the golden colour.  They come standard with a bench seat and double perfectly as an outdoor seating area.  The extra works add $350 per bed to the cost.  The prices here are examples - email us any length, width and height and we'll have a quote to you before you can turn your compost pile.

* Melbourne only!

The quoted prices of installed VEG bed packages assume that:

  • soil needs to be carted no more than 30 metres by wheelbarrow from the most convenient delivery place
  • that where irrigation is being installed, there are no major obstacles such as concrete pathways in between tap and bed
  • there is no serious yard cleaning or earth moving required to install the bed.

We can still deal with all of these issues!  So contact us and we'll work something reasonable out.

At the same time as installing your VEG bed we can perform other landscaping services, for instance preparing the soil and planting fruit trees.  Contact us to find out more. Thanks!
