Canary Wharf gardens and terraces often need structure as much as style. Gabion walls deliver both—strong, free-draining and visually striking—ideal for creating levels, boundaries and feature planting. We regularly work around E14 developments near One Canada Square and Crossrail Place, where clean lines and durable materials matter. Expect a finish that complements glass, steel and contemporary paving.
Most projects here involve modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses with balconies, roof terraces or podium decks. We design gabions to suit compact footprints and high-end detailing, from slim dividers to deep planters for screening. For clients in the Isle of Dogs and Poplar, we also build retaining solutions that manage changes in level without bulky brickwork. The result is a robust feature that looks purposeful rather than purely functional.
We start with a site visit to measure, assess levels and confirm loading, drainage and access. You’ll receive a clear design proposal, stone-fill options and an installation plan that minimises disruption to neighbours and building management. Our team builds with galvanised or marine-grade baskets, correct foundations and neat edges, then checks alignment and stability before sign-off. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, transparent pricing and a 10-year warranty.
In the gabion walls Canary Wharf area, access is often via lifts, service corridors or managed loading bays, so we plan deliveries and basket sizes carefully. Ground build-ups can vary on podium decks, so we confirm substrate, drainage routes and allowable loads before construction. We also factor in local restrictions and building rules common across the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. This keeps installations compliant, quiet and efficient around busy residential blocks.

Costs vary with size, basket specification and stone choice. As a guide, small gabion planters or dividers often start from around £600–£1,500, while longer retaining runs commonly fall between £250–£450 per linear metre. Premium stone fills, marine-grade baskets, integrated lighting and difficult access in E14 can increase budgets. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site survey.
Many smaller features, such as a planter or short divider, can be installed in 1–2 days once materials arrive. Retaining walls and multi-feature builds (seating, lighting, steps or water features) typically take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access arrangements, basket size, foundation preparation, and whether we’re working on a podium deck with restricted delivery windows. We confirm a programme before booking.
In many cases, garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, particularly when they’re within typical height limits and not affecting highways or listed buildings. However, rules can change with conservation areas, boundary walls facing a road, or works on communal/managed developments. We’ll flag likely requirements, check constraints for your property, and can liaise with building management or the council if needed before work starts.
Yes. Our gabion wall installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity under normal residential use. This includes correct basket assembly, stable foundations, alignment and secure fill placement. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or issues caused by third-party alterations or underlying structural movement outside our control. We also provide care guidance to keep the finish looking sharp over time.
You can choose from various stone fills such as granite, limestone, flint, river cobbles or recycled aggregates for a more industrial look. We design retaining walls, seating, planters, dividers and even gabion-framed water features, with optional integrated lighting for evening ambience. Basket depth and height are made to suit your space and load requirements. We’ll bring samples and recommend combinations that suit your paving, cladding and planting scheme.
