Gabion walls are a smart way to create strong, attractive garden structure without bulky brickwork. In SE13, we’re often asked for retaining walls to level lawns, define patios, or frame planting near Mountsfield Park-style family gardens. Whether you’re close to Hither Green station or nearer Manor Park, we tailor the look to your property and layout. Expect clean lines, tidy edges and stone fills chosen to complement your outdoor space.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often have narrow side access, stepped levels and mixed boundary treatments. We design gabions to work with existing brick walls, fencing and paving, keeping proportions right for smaller gardens. If you’re in Lee, Grove Park or Lewisham, we can match aggregates and stone colours commonly used locally. The result is a contemporary feature that still sits comfortably alongside period detailing.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and confirm access for materials. You’ll receive a clear specification covering cage sizes, stone type, foundations and any lighting or water-feature integration. Our team installs with proper base preparation and alignment so the wall stays true and stable over time. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, we often encounter clay-heavy ground, mature roots and gardens with limited parking and access. We plan deliveries to minimise disruption and select base build-ups that suit local soil conditions. For Victorian and Edwardian plots around SE13, we keep footprints efficient while still achieving proper retention. We also consider boundary lines and neighbour interfaces so the finished wall looks intentional from both sides where needed.

Costs vary with height, length, cage depth, stone choice and whether you need excavation or drainage. As a guide, smaller decorative dividers or planters may start from around £300–£600 per metre, while retaining gabion walls commonly fall between £600–£1,200+ per metre. Integrated seating, lighting or water features will increase the budget. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey in SE13.
Most domestic gabion wall projects take 1–3 days for a straightforward planter or divider, and 3–7 days for longer retaining runs with excavation and drainage. Timescales depend on access, spoil removal, ground conditions, wall height and the stone fill you choose. If we’re adding lighting, steps, or tying into paving, allow extra time. We’ll confirm a schedule before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden gabion walls are permitted development, especially when they’re not affecting highways, visibility splays or listed boundaries. However, rules can change if the wall is near a road, exceeds certain heights, or forms part of a front boundary. If your property is in a conservation area or has restrictions, extra checks may be needed. We’ll advise early, review the site context, and help you confirm requirements with Lewisham if necessary.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate base preparation, misalignment, or fixings failure. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that the wall isn’t altered or overloaded after installation. We also use quality cages and appropriate geotextiles and drainage where required to support long-term performance. You’ll receive care guidance to keep everything looking its best.
You can choose from various stone fills including granite, limestone, flint, recycled concrete and mixed river cobbles, depending on the look you want. We build custom sizes for retaining walls, seating, planters, dividers and even water-feature surrounds. For a sharper finish, we can use graded stone and neat face selection, plus optional LED lighting. We’ll bring samples and suggest combinations that suit your paving, brickwork and planting scheme.
