Gabion walls bring a contemporary, architectural look that suits Camberwell’s creative energy while solving practical garden challenges. Whether you’re near Camberwell Green or walking distance from Denmark Hill station, they’re ideal for stabilising levels and defining outdoor zones. We build gabions for retaining walls, dividers and raised planters, with optional lighting for evening use. Every installation is sized and finished to complement your space and layout.
Homes across SE5 range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern apartments with compact courtyards. We design gabion solutions that respect period brickwork and tight side returns, while still delivering a bold feature. For properties around Dulwich, Brixton and Peckham, gabion seating and planters can add structure without heavy masonry. The result is a robust, low-maintenance build that looks intentional rather than temporary.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then propose a clear design with stone-fill options and a practical build schedule. Our team handles groundworks, geotextiles, base preparation and neat finishing so the wall performs as well as it looks. You’ll get transparent communication, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Many local homeowners choose us because we deliver premium results without disruption.
Camberwell gardens often have level changes, older boundaries and limited access typical of Southwark terraces. We plan deliveries, parking and carry routes carefully, especially on busier streets near King’s College Hospital. Ground conditions can vary, so we build proper sub-bases and drainage to prevent movement and staining. Our designs also consider neighbouring walls and party boundaries to keep everything compliant and considerate.

Costs depend on height, length, access and the stone fill you choose. As a guide, smaller decorative features or planters often start from around £900–£1,800, while retaining sections commonly fall between £250–£450 per linear metre for typical heights. Larger engineered retaining walls with deeper bases, steps, seating or lighting can run £3,000–£10,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most gabion projects take 1–3 days for planters, dividers or short runs, and 3–7 days for longer retaining walls with proper base preparation. Timescales vary with excavation depth, spoil removal, access through side passages, and whether you’re adding seating, steps, water features or lighting. Weather and curing time for any adjacent concrete bases can also affect scheduling. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change based on wall height, location near a highway, listed status, and conservation considerations. Parts of Southwark include heritage-sensitive streets, and some properties may have restrictions. We’ll advise on typical thresholds and can help you check with the London Borough of Southwark if needed. If permission or a party wall notice is required, we’ll flag it early.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gabion wall installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect base preparation or installation faults. We also use quality baskets, fixings and geotextiles suited to UK conditions, and we follow best practice for drainage and backfill on retaining builds. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards, and we’ll explain care and maintenance at handover.
You can choose from various stone fills such as limestone, granite, flint, recycled brick or mixed river cobbles, depending on the look you want. We can build straight runs, curves, stepped retaining walls, raised planters, seating edges and dividers, plus integrate lighting for pathways and features. Basket sizes and wire finishes can be tailored to your scheme. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your paving, brickwork and planting style.
