Response within 24 hours
Gabion walls bring structure and texture to Earl's Court gardens, especially where levels change or space is limited. We design and build retaining walls, seating edges, planters and dividers that suit Victorian architecture without feeling heavy. Whether you’re close to Earl's Court tube station or near Philbeach Gardens, we’ll tailor the layout to your access and how you use the garden. Stone-filled baskets also pair beautifully with timber decking and contemporary paving.
The Earl's Court area is known for Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, often with compact rear gardens and shared boundaries. We regularly work across Kensington, West Brompton and Fulham, where neat detailing and considerate site management matter. Gabions are a smart choice for these homes because they can be built to precise widths and heights, creating usable seating or raised planting without bulky brickwork. We also integrate lighting and water features to lift evening use and add a calm focal point.
From the first visit, we assess levels, drainage and the safest way to move materials through the property. You’ll receive a clear specification covering basket gauge, foundations, stone type and any extras such as lighting conduits. Our team is based 35 minutes away, so we can respond quickly and keep the programme tight. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, durable builds and a straightforward 10-year warranty.
In SW5, access can be narrow and parking is often controlled, so we plan deliveries, loading and waste removal carefully. Many gardens sit behind period buildings, where boundaries and drainage routes need extra attention. We build gabion walls in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea with stable bases, correct backfill and discreet drainage to protect neighbouring structures. Where needed, we size modules for hand-carry access and reduce disruption to communal areas.

Costs vary with height, length, foundations and stone choice. As a guide, small decorative gabion dividers or planters often start from around £250–£450 per linear metre, while engineered retaining gabion walls are commonly £450–£900+ per linear metre. Extras such as integrated seating caps, lighting, steps or water features will increase the budget. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site survey in SW5.
Most domestic gabion walls take 1–3 days to install, depending on access, excavation and whether the wall is purely decorative or a retaining structure. A larger retaining wall with drainage, stepped levels, or multiple planters may take 4–7 days. Timescales are affected by spoil removal, delivery restrictions, and curing time for any concrete bases. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change based on wall height, proximity to highways, listed building status, and conservation areas common in the borough. Retaining structures may also need careful consideration where they affect boundaries or drainage. We’ll flag any likely permissions early, advise on best practice, and can help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall workmanship and installation, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect base preparation, poor assembly or inadequate drainage detailing. The warranty applies when the wall is used as intended and not altered by others. Individual components (such as lighting drivers or pumps for water features) may carry separate manufacturer warranties. We also give maintenance guidance to keep everything performing well.
Gabions can be built in custom sizes for retaining walls, seating, planters, dividers and even water feature surrounds. Popular stone fills include limestone, granite, flint and mixed river cobbles, chosen to complement brickwork and paving. We can add timber or stone seating caps, integrate low-voltage lighting, and create clean lines with graded stone for a uniform look. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your garden style and budget.
