If the soil is okay, but you want to avoid compaction, why not put planks down as paths? You walk on the planks, not the beds, and you will require less wood, and you won't need to find new soil to fill raised beds. Just a suggestion.

I have stone paths in my veg garden, the composite stone from B&Q is pretty good and cheapish. You do need 5cm of sand beneath though.
