Those steep gardens dotting the TN16 postcode present unique challenges that gabion structures handle brilliantly. Local properties, from converted farmsteads near Leaves Green to newer builds along Jail Lane, often grapple with significant level changes. Stone-filled wire cages create retaining walls that weather beautifully while managing everything from driveway erosion to garden terracing. The flexibility of gabion construction means adapting to Biggin Hill's varied chalk and clay soils becomes straightforward.
Each gabion installation starts with careful ground assessment, particularly crucial given the area's proximity to the North Downs. Galvanised steel mesh forms the structural framework, filled with locally-sourced aggregate that complements existing landscaping. Drainage integration prevents the water logging issues common to properties near Berry's Green. Unlike rigid concrete alternatives, gabions shift naturally with ground movement, reducing failure risks on the sloped plots characteristic of areas towards Westerham.
Years spent working across Biggin Hill have taught us which stone combinations resist frost damage best in this elevated location. Property owners from Tatsfield to Keston trust our understanding of local planning considerations and drainage patterns.




Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most residential gabion projects around Biggin Hill range between £180-£320 per square metre, varying with access difficulty and stone choice. Smaller garden walls often total £2,500-£6,000, whilst extensive driveway retention can reach £15,000+.
Absolutely - regular installations span from central TN16 out to surrounding villages including Downe, Cudham, and across to Westerham borders.
Typical garden gabion walls take 5-8 working days from excavation to completion. Larger retention projects around driveways or boundaries might extend to 3-4 weeks.
All gabion structures carry decade-long protection covering mesh integrity and structural stability - the galvanised coating resists corrosion even in Biggin Hill's exposed conditions.
Definitely - many TN16 installations feature integrated planting pockets. Trailing plants like ivy or climbing hydrangea soften the industrial aesthetic whilst maintaining structural integrity.
