Gabion walls are a practical, design-led way to manage slopes, define spaces and add texture to a garden. In Elmers End, they’re ideal for creating crisp boundaries, raised planters or robust retaining walls without bulky brickwork. We regularly work near Elmers End station and along routes served by the Croydon Tramlink, where access and tidy logistics matter. Every build is tailored to your layout, finish and budget in BR3.
Our team knows the gabion walls Elmers End area homeowners prefer—clean lines, durable materials and low maintenance. Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often need clever solutions for narrow side access, stepped patios and mixed boundary levels. We design gabions that sit comfortably with period brickwork while improving drainage and stability. Whether you’re in Beckenham, Penge or closer to South Norwood, we size and position each basket to suit your site.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear design proposal, including stone fill options and any lighting details. Installations are built on a properly prepared base with careful alignment, secure fixings and neat edges to paths and lawns. You’ll get transparent scheduling, respectful working practices and a clean finish at handover. Local clients choose us for dependable workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our builds.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, gardens can vary from flatter plots to awkward changes in level near boundaries. We plan for drainage, soil conditions and existing structures, then specify the right basket depth and base build-up. Access around terraces and semis in BR3 can be tight, so we organise deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider nearby park-facing gardens, such as around South Norwood Country Park, where privacy dividers are popular.

Costs vary with height, length, basket depth, stone type and groundwork. As a guide, smaller decorative features and planters often start from around £900–£1,800. Medium retaining runs commonly fall between £2,000–£5,000, while larger engineered retaining walls with steps, lighting or complex levels can be £6,000–£12,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most garden gabion projects take 1–3 days for a small planter, divider or seating run, and 3–7 days for longer retaining walls. Timescales depend on excavation, base preparation, access for materials, and whether you’re adding steps, lighting, or tying into paving. Weather and ground conditions can also affect progress. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but there are exceptions. Planning may be needed if the wall is next to a highway and exceeds certain heights, if the property is listed, or if you’re in a conservation area. Retaining walls can also require extra consideration due to structural implications. We’ll advise during the survey and, where needed, help you check Bromley council requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall workmanship, covering installation defects such as poor alignment, inadequate base preparation, or fixing issues that affect stability. The warranty applies when the wall is used as designed and not altered by third parties. Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. We’ll also give practical maintenance guidance to keep the finish looking sharp over time.
Gabions are highly flexible: choose from various stone fills such as limestone, granite, flint, recycled concrete, or mixed decorative blends. We can create retaining walls, seating, planters, water feature surrounds, and garden dividers in custom sizes. Popular upgrades include timber or stone coping, integrated steps, and discreet LED lighting. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that complement your paving, brickwork and planting scheme.
