There would be a number of different factors that would affect the cost -- the size of the beds and the material used (plain lumber, treated lumber, cedar... the price goes up in that order) would be the two biggest factors, I would think. When you say 'raised beds,' do you mean the type that are actually large containers on legs, where the whole bed is raised up off the ground, or the raised beds that are just a framework on the ground that is filled with planting mix?
Gardeners Supply sells a 2x8' cedar elevated planter box for $279 (
http://www.gardeners.com/buy/p... ), without the planting mix, so I would think the price should be lower than that if someone locally built one for you.
If you mean the on-the-ground type of raised bed, that would be a much simpler project and a lot cheaper.
Either way, if you think you might like to tackle the project yourself I don't believe it would be too hard to find someone with a truck that would like to make a few dollars by picking up the materials for you.
