If your garden levels drop away or a boundary needs upgrading, gabions provide a robust, contemporary solution. We design and install gabion retaining walls, dividers and feature pieces that look great year-round. Homeowners around Eastfields station and Figges Marsh choose gabions for their clean lines and excellent drainage. We work across SW16 and CR4 with tidy, well-planned installations.
Eastfields has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, often with compact gardens and shared access. That variety calls for flexible sizing, careful delivery planning and smart detailing. We regularly build gabion walls eastfields area projects that double as seating or raised planters to maximise usable space. Where gardens meet fences or outbuildings, we can create slim dividers that still feel substantial.
We start with a site visit to check levels, ground conditions and drainage, then provide a clear written specification. Our team handles excavation, base preparation, baskets, stone fill and finishing touches such as lighting and coping details. You’ll get straightforward communication, clean working practices and a build that’s made to last. Fine Landscaping is based just 5 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are easy.
In the London Borough of Merton, gardens can have variable made ground and pockets of clay, so we prioritise stable bases and reliable drainage. Access around Mitcham and Streatham Vale often means narrow gates and limited parking, so we plan deliveries and stone handling to minimise disruption. We also consider nearby trees and roots, plus boundary positions, to keep structures compliant and long-lasting. The result is gabions that look sharp and perform properly in local conditions.

Costs depend on height, length, access and the stone fill you choose. As a guide, small decorative gabions or planters often start from around £800–£1,500. Retaining gabion walls typically fall in the £250–£450 per linear metre range, with taller engineered sections costing more. Lighting, seating tops and premium stone blends can increase the budget. We’ll itemise everything after a site visit.
Most straightforward gabion walls take 1–3 days, including excavation, base preparation, basket assembly and stone filling. Larger retaining walls or multi-feature builds (seating, planters, steps or lighting) can take 4–7 days. Timescales are affected by access, spoil removal, ground conditions and whether we’re tying the work into paving or drainage. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Height limits can apply, especially near highways, and rules may differ for front gardens, corner plots or listed buildings. If the gabion wall forms part of a larger scheme (levels, terraces or boundary changes), it can also affect requirements. We’ll check the basics for your property and advise if you should confirm with Merton Council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gabion wall installations. This covers issues arising from installation, such as basket alignment, base preparation faults and structural movement caused by poor construction. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, alterations by others or extreme events outside normal conditions. We also use quality baskets and fixings suited to outdoor use, and we’ll explain maintenance steps to keep everything looking its best.
Gabions are highly adaptable: choose from limestone, granite, flint, recycled concrete, or mixed stone fills for different colours and textures. We can build retaining walls, dividers, raised planters, seating benches, and even water features with hidden liners and pumps. Sizes are custom, from slim boundary runs to deeper structural baskets. Optional lighting (recessed or uplighters) adds impact and safer evening use, and we’ll help you select a finish that suits your home.
