Stone-filled gabion cages have become increasingly popular across Beckenham's varied terrain. From the sloping gardens near Kelsey Park to the boundary challenges in Eden Park's newer developments, these versatile structures solve multiple problems simultaneously. The wire mesh baskets, packed with carefully selected stone, create walls that drain naturally while providing exceptional stability on even the steepest gradients.
Construction begins with precise excavation and foundation preparation, crucial given the clay-heavy soil common around Clock House station. Each galvanised steel cage gets positioned and interconnected before filling commences. Stone selection matters - angular rock locks together better than rounded river stones, creating internal friction that strengthens the entire structure. The final result manages water runoff effectively whilst adding architectural interest to any outdoor space.
Having installed dozens of gabion walls across Park Langley's generous plots, we understand the specific drainage patterns affecting SE20 properties. Our team sources materials from quarries that match existing stonework, ensuring your new wall complements established landscaping.
