Elephant & Castle’s regeneration has brought compact courtyards, roof terraces and redesigned communal gardens—ideal settings for gabions. Whether you’re near Elephant Park or walking distance from Strata Tower, gabion walls create structure without feeling heavy. They work brilliantly as retaining walls, privacy dividers, raised planters or integrated seating. Fine Landscaping designs each build to suit your layout, levels and preferred stone finish.
Homes across SE1 and SE17 range from Victorian terraces in Kennington and Walworth to modern high-rises and new-build apartments. Gabions suit both: they can echo contemporary architecture with crisp lines, or soften period gardens with natural stone fills. For smaller plots, we often combine seating and planters to save space. Where levels are awkward, we engineer stable retaining solutions that look intentional, not improvised.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then produce a clear specification for cage sizes, foundations and stone type. Installations are carried out with tidy working practices, careful compaction and accurate alignment, so the wall stays true over time. You’ll get straightforward communication, realistic timescales and workmanship backed by our warranty. Local homeowners choose us for robust builds that look premium from day one.
In the London Borough of Southwark, gardens can sit over made ground, with variable drainage and tight access routes. Around Newington and Borough, we plan deliveries and waste removal to suit parking restrictions and shared entrances. We also design foundations to cope with changing levels common in redeveloped plots. The result is a gabion build that’s practical for the site and clean in finish.

Costs depend on wall height, length, cage thickness, stone fill and whether it’s retaining soil. As a guide, simple decorative gabion features often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while engineered retaining gabion walls are commonly £450–£900+ per linear metre. Extras such as integrated seating, planters, steps, lighting and difficult access can increase the budget. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most small gabion features (planters, short dividers or seating runs) take 1–3 days, including ground preparation and stone filling. Larger retaining walls typically take 3–7 days, depending on excavation, foundations, drainage and the amount of stone to place. Timescales can change with restricted access, delivery windows, weather, and whether we’re integrating lighting or water features. We confirm a programme before work starts.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can vary with wall height, location next to a highway, and whether your property is listed or in a conservation area. In Southwark, new boundary treatments or taller retaining structures may need extra checks. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you confirm requirements with the council where needed, so the design stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gabion wall installations, covering issues such as poor alignment, settlement caused by incorrect base preparation, or fixing failures. The warranty is valid when the wall is used as designed and not altered by others after completion. We also use quality cages and appropriate geotextiles and drainage where required, which helps the structure stay stable and looking sharp long term.
Gabions are highly flexible: choose from granite, limestone, flint, recycled concrete, or mixed river cobbles for different textures and colours. We can build retaining walls, raised planters, seating, dividers, and even incorporate water features or low-voltage lighting. Cage depths and heights are made to suit your space, from slim boundary details to substantial structural walls. We’ll bring samples and recommend a finish that suits your property style.
