Gabion walls bring a contemporary edge while staying sympathetic to Holland Park’s mature gardens and period architecture. Whether you’re levelling a sloped lawn near Kyoto Garden or creating a smart divider for a courtyard plot, gabions offer strength with visual texture. They work brilliantly as retaining walls, raised planters, and informal seating. We can also integrate lighting for safe, atmospheric evenings outdoors.
Homes around W11 and W14 often include large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period properties with established boundaries and tight side access. That makes buildability and clean logistics just as important as the finished look. We design gabions to suit existing brickwork, railings and paving, keeping proportions right for grand façades and smaller mews-style gardens. For clients across Kensington and Notting Hill, we regularly specify finishes that complement stone steps, stucco walls and heritage planting schemes.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear plan for drainage and stability. We provide a written specification, agree stone fill samples, and schedule deliveries to minimise disruption. Every wall is built on a proper base with robust baskets and secure tying, then finished to a tidy, premium standard. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable timelines, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
The gabion walls Holland Park area often need careful planning for access, parking and timed deliveries, especially near the Design Museum and busy residential streets. Many gardens sit behind period façades with narrow passages, so we select basket sizes and staging methods that fit. We also account for drainage and sub-base conditions to keep retaining structures stable. Where council considerations apply, we help you stay aligned with local expectations and good neighbour practice.

Costs vary with height, length, access and the stone fill you choose. As a guide, smaller decorative or planter gabions often start from around £250–£450 per linear metre, while engineered retaining gabion walls commonly range from £450–£900+ per linear metre. Lighting, steps, bespoke seating and complex groundworks can increase budgets. We’ll survey levels and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most residential gabion projects take 2–5 days, depending on wall length, height and whether excavation or drainage is required. A simple planter or divider can be completed in a day or two, while retaining walls with stepped levels may take a week. Access constraints, spoil removal and stone delivery scheduling can affect timings. We confirm a programme after the site survey and design sign-off.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, proximity to highways, listed buildings or conservation areas. Parts of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have additional constraints, especially around period properties. We’ll discuss your site, check likely requirements and recommend contacting the council where needed. If permissions or approvals are required, we can support with drawings and specifications.
