Gabion walls add structure and texture to Chelsea gardens, especially where space is tight and levels change. Whether you want a retaining wall, a raised planter, or a sleek divider, we tailor the build to your layout and finish. Our designs sit comfortably alongside the clean lines found around King’s Road and the calmer garden settings near Chelsea Physic Garden. Expect a robust, low-maintenance solution that looks intentional rather than purely functional.
Homes in Chelsea range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian mansions to luxury apartments with terraces and podium gardens. That mix often calls for clever detailing: slimmer footprints, tidy edges, and noise-conscious working practices. We regularly deliver gabion walls Chelsea area clients choose for courtyards, roof terraces, and compact rear gardens where every centimetre matters. Finishes are selected to complement brickwork, stone paving, and contemporary joinery.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage, and access, then provide a clear design and itemised specification. Builds are set out accurately, lined and filled for stability, and finished with neat caps, steps, or integrated lighting where required. We keep you informed throughout and protect surrounding paving, planting, and boundaries. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Chelsea sites often involve restricted access, resident parking controls, and careful neighbour considerations, particularly around SW3 and SW10. We plan deliveries and waste removal to reduce disruption and keep the site tidy. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and compacted sub-bases, so we specify suitable foundations and drainage behind retaining sections. We also align designs with local property character and expectations for high-quality finishes in gabion walls in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Costs in Chelsea typically range from £250–£450 per m² for straightforward, low-height gabions, depending on basket depth and stone type. Retaining walls with drainage, reinforced bases, steps, or integrated lighting often sit around £450–£850 per m². Access constraints, hand-carry distances, and premium stone fills can increase costs. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit and design review.
Most small gabion features such as planters, dividers, or short seating runs take 1–3 days on site. Larger retaining walls or multi-level schemes commonly take 4–10 working days, especially if excavation, drainage, and lighting are included. Timescales depend on access, spoil removal, curing time for any concrete footings, and the complexity of the layout. We confirm a programme before work begins.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change with height, proximity to highways, and whether the property is listed or within a conservation area. In Chelsea, these factors are common, particularly for period homes. We review your site, advise on likely requirements, and can help you check with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea where needed before installation starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall installation workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect build methods, poor basket fixing, or inadequate foundations specified by us. It also includes defects in our drainage installation where applicable. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations or extreme events are excluded. You’ll receive care guidance to keep everything performing well.
We offer custom sizes and depths, from slim dividers to substantial retaining walls, plus options for seating, planters, and water-feature surrounds. Popular stone fills include granite, limestone, flint, and mixed river cobbles, chosen to suit your paving and façade. We can also blend colours for a more refined look and add integrated lighting for evening use. We’ll bring samples and propose layouts that suit your garden proportions.
