Blackheath gardens often need smart level changes, clear boundaries and durable features that suit the area’s Georgian character. Our gabion walls bring a crisp, architectural look while handling real retaining work on sloping plots. Whether you’re near Blackheath Common or closer to Blackheath Village, we design walls that feel intentional rather than “added on”. We also integrate seating, planters and lighting for a finished, usable space.
We regularly work across SE3 and nearby Greenwich, Lee and Lewisham, where access can be tight and finishes matter. Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions benefit from materials that complement brickwork, iron railings and formal planting. Gabions are ideal where you want a contemporary edge without losing a traditional garden rhythm. We tailor heights, returns and corners to match existing steps, terraces and paths.
Your project starts with a site visit, level checks and a practical design that accounts for drainage and load. We specify the correct basket gauge, foundations and stone grading, then install neatly with clean lines and consistent fills. You’ll get a clear scope, tidy working practices and a build that’s made to perform through winter weather. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the gabion walls Blackheath area, we often encounter mixed ground, mature tree roots and level changes near older terraces. We plan deliveries and waste removal around controlled parking zones and narrower streets common around SE3. Where properties sit close to boundaries, we design slimmer profiles and tidy returns to protect neighbouring fences and planting. For gabion walls in Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we also check any constraints that may apply to front gardens or prominent elevations.

Costs vary with height, access, foundations and stone choice. As a guide, smaller decorative gabion planters or dividers often start from around £300–£700 per metre, while retaining gabion walls are more commonly £600–£1,200+ per metre. Integrated seating, steps, lighting or water features will increase the budget. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit in SE3.
Most projects take 1–3 days for a short run or a couple of features, and 3–7 days for longer retaining walls with groundwork. Timescales depend on excavation, disposal, access for materials, and whether we’re adding lighting, seating or planters. Wet weather and curing time for any concrete footings can also affect scheduling. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, especially in rear gardens, but rules can change with wall height, proximity to a highway, listed buildings or conservation areas. Parts of Blackheath may have additional considerations due to heritage character. We’ll flag likely permissions early, check council guidance, and advise if you need to submit an application before we begin construction.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gabion wall builds, covering installation quality, structural assembly and fixings when used as specified. This includes correct basket construction, alignment and the stability of the built structure under normal conditions. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, ground movement caused by third-party works, or issues from altered drainage after completion. We also recommend maintenance checks after severe weather.
You can choose from various stone fills such as granite, limestone, flint, recycled brick or mixed river cobbles, depending on the look you want. We design retaining walls, dividers, planters, seating plinths and even gabion-framed water features. Basket sizes, mesh gauge and cap details can be tailored for a refined finish. We’ll bring samples and propose options that suit your house style and planting scheme.
