Gabion Walls in Dartford

Gabion Walls Specialists in Dartford

Dartford's mix of Victorian terraces and newer developments often share one challenge - awkward level changes. Wire mesh cages filled with stone have become the go-to solution for homeowners seeking something more interesting than standard brick retaining walls. The industrial aesthetic suits both period properties near the town centre and contemporary builds around Greenhithe equally well. Plus, drainage is built right into the design.

Construction starts with proper foundation preparation - crucial given the clay-heavy soil common across DA1. Steel mesh cages get assembled on-site, then filled with your choice of stone: Kentish ragstone for traditionalists, or imported granite for modern schemes. Each basket interlocks with its neighbours, creating a structure that flexes naturally with ground movement. The porous nature means no hydrostatic pressure build-up behind the wall, eliminating the drainage headaches that plague solid retaining structures.

Local knowledge matters when dealing with Dartford's planning requirements and soil conditions. Having completed installations from compact Crayford gardens to larger Bexley properties, the nuances of each neighbourhood's requirements are second nature.
